Cryptococcoid Sweet syndrome: a case report.
Front Med (Lausanne)
October 2024
Institute of Dermatology, Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo, Pavia, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Cryptococcoid Sweet syndrome (cSS) is a newly identified variant of Sweet syndrome (SS) that shares similar skin symptoms but shows unique microscopic features.
- In cSS, fungal tests are negative, but biopsy results usually show positive myeloperoxidase (MPO) staining, indicating its distinct nature.
- The rarity and complexities in diagnosing cSS often lead to poor health outcomes, yet this study presents a case where a patient had a positive recovery.
Friendly fungi: Tropical insect families form partnerships with intracellular fungi related to pathogens.

Sap-sucking insects fail to obtain vitamins, amino acids, and sterols from their plant diet. To compensate, obligate intracellular bacterial symbionts (usually and ) provide these missing nutrients. Notably, some planthoppers within the Fulgoromorpha (suborder Auchenorrhyncha) associate with intracellular fungi, which either accompany or replace the anciently associated bacterial partners.

Microbiology Service, Department of Laboratory Medicine, Clinical Center, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Dimorphism is a phenomenon where certain fungi can switch between yeast and filamentous forms depending on temperature, which is explored in the study of a new mucoralean fungus isolated from a patient with Burkitt lymphoma.
- The fungus shows significant changes in shape and structure at body temperature, resembling traditional yeast forms but still having unique features that can help differentiate it from other similar fungi in clinical settings.
- Accurate and timely diagnosis is crucial for managing mucormycosis, as different fungal species have varied responses to antifungal treatments, highlighting the need to recognize these dimorphic transitions to improve patient outcomes.
