Descriptor feohifomicosis
Entry term(s) feohifomicosis cutánea
feohifomicosis subcutánea
Scope note: INFECCIONES OPORTUNISTAS causadas por HONGOS MITOSPÓRICOS dematiáceos (de pigmentación obscura) de la ALTERNARIA, Bipolaris, CLADOSPORIUM, Curvalaria y EXOPHIALA. Estos hongos tienen HIFAS pigmentadas debido a la MELANINA en la pared celular. El quiste subcutáneo inicial de la infección puede llegar a ser sistémico y extenderse rápidamente hacia los sistemas renales, pulmonares y cerebrales (ver FEOHIFOMICOSIS CEREBRAL) en un HUESPED INMUNOCOMPROMETIDO.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D060446
Scope note: OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTIONS caused by the dematiaceous (darkly pigmented) MITOSPORIC FUNGI of ALTERNARIA, Bipolaris, CLADOSPORIUM, Curvularia, and EXOPHIALA. These fungi have pigmented HYPHAE due to MELANIN in the cell wall. The initial subcutaneous cyst from the infection can become systemic and spread rapidly to renal, pulmonary and cerebral systems (see CEREBRAL PHAEOHYPHOMYCOSIS) in an IMMUNOCOMPROMISED HOST.
