In this case of phaeohyphomycosis, fine needle aspiration cytology enabled a rapid diagnosis and prompt treatment. This infection is quite prevalent in immunocompromised individuals; however, the Medicopsis romeroi species is a rare causative agent. These cases are associated with inadequate response to standard antifungal therapy and require discussion.

The composition and structure of fungal communities on healthy and diseased fruits of Cinnamomum burmannii (Nees and Nees) Blume were characterized, with evaluation of the antibacterial activity of secondary metabolites from culturable fungi following the first identification of secondary metabolites in the fungus Medicopsis romeroi (Esf-14; GenBank accession number OK242756). These results are significant for understanding the functional variation in bioactivity in fungal communities and developing a broader range of bioactive resources. High-throughput sequencing results indicated that the fungal community in diseased fruit differed from that in healthy fruit at the phylum, class, order, or genus level, with significant differences in the species and relative abundance of the dominant flora.

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.

phaeohyphomycosis is increasingly reported in immunocompromised patients living in or originating from tropical and subtropical areas. We report a case of subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis caused by in a 56-year-old Malian woman residing in France for 20 years. She developed a small nodule on her dominant hand's ring finger 15 months after starting immunosuppressive medications for paraneoplastic dermatomyositis.
