Exophiala spinifera is reported as a newly recognized agent of chromoblastomycosis. This case demonstrates that infections caused by dematiaceous fungi may be variable and that a single fungus may cause more than one type of infection. Chromoblastomycosis and phaeohyphomycosis represent extremes of a continuum of infections.

The connection between the gut mycobiome and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD) is largely uncharted. In our study, we compared the gut fungal communities of 214 ACVD patients with those of 171 healthy controls using shotgun metagenomic sequencing and examined their interactions with gut bacterial communities and network key taxa. The gut mycobiome composition in ACVD patients is significantly different, showing a rise in opportunistic pathogens like , , and , with and showing the most significant changes (Wilcoxon rank-sum test, < 0.

Background: The relationship between the gut mycobiome and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) remains largely unexplored.
Methods: In this study, we compared the gut fungal populations of 223 ESRD patients and 69 healthy controls (HCs) based on shotgun metagenomic sequencing data, and analyzed their associations with host serum and fecal metabolites.
Results: Our findings revealed that ESRD patients had a higher diversity in the gut mycobiome compared to HCs.

Article Synopsis
- A 3-year-old cat with a history of immune-related blood disorders developed a pigmented skin nodule on its foreleg, which was later found to contain fungal elements.
- After surgery to remove the nodule and discovering another lesion, the cat was diagnosed with phaeohyphomycosis, a fungal skin infection.
- The treatment involved surgery and the antifungal medication itraconazole, leading to recovery despite the cat being on immunosuppressive drugs.
