Article Abstract
Phialemonium infection in humans is rare. We report a 7-year-old healthy boy who presented with chronic otorrhea, which persisted despite adequate antibiotic therapy and four preservative tympanomastoidectomy operations. Following 3 years of intermittent topical antibiotic therapy, cultures eventually grew Phialemonium, which necessitated a more extensive operation, combined with systemic/topical anti-fungal agent to achieve clinical cure.

From the Department of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, Ankara Bilkent City Hospital, Ankara, Turkey.
Background: With recent developments in the field of microbiology, an increasing number of yeasts and molds with the potential to cause infections in humans are identified every year. In addition to the challenges in identifying clinical isolates, there is limited antifungal susceptibility data available for Phialemonium species, leading to uncertainty in optimal treatment recommendations.
Methods: In this article, catheter-related bloodstream infections caused by Phialemonium curvata (previously Phialemonium curvatum ) in 3 immunosuppressed patients are presented.

Objectives: Phaeohyphomycosis refers to infections caused by phaeoid/dematiaceous or darkly pigmented fungi. This study was undertaken to further increase our knowledge about the incidence of phaeohyphomycosis and its causative agents.
Materials And Methods: The present study was conducted over a period of one and a half years (January 2018-June 2019) on specimens received from patients with varied clinical manifestations ranging from superficial infections, subcutaneous cysts, pneumonia, brain abscess to a disseminated infection.

species are a class of opportunistic pathogenic fungi widely present in the environment that cause invasive diseases in hosts with normal or weak immune functions. Common infections include peritonitis, endocarditis, osteomyelitis, and skin infections of wounds after burns, whereas endophthalmitis is rarely reported. Here, we report acute post-cataract endophthalmitis caused by in China.

Opportunistic infections are life-threatening conditions in immunocompromised patients including those with primary immunodeficiency. We describe a case of X-linked chronic granulomatous disease presenting with mesenteric abscess caused by a coinfection with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) and sp. The patient received BCG vaccination at 5 months old.

Background: A growing number of non-dermatophytic moulds and yeasts with the ability to act as human pathogens are reported every year. Dematiaceous fungi cause phaeohyphomycosis which encompasses a broad spectrum of diseases ranging from superficial (cutaneous and subcutaneous) to disseminated infections. Such fungal infections are responsible for causing significant morbidity and mortality, frequently in immunocompromised patients and rarely in immunocompetent patients.
