Fungi isolated from Keratomycosis in Ontario, Canada

I. Monosporium apiospermum (Allescheria Botdii)

Pages 109-112 | Published online: 09 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

Monosporium apiospermum, a common agent of mycetoma, was isolated for the first time in Canada from the corneal tissue of an eviscerated eye which had been injured by a particle of wood. Early mycological investigation and accurate diagnosis might have prevented the loss of this eye.

Zusammenfassung

Der Mycetom-Erreger Monosporium apiospermum wurde vom Hornhautgewebe eines eviszerierten Auges isoliert, das durch ein Holzpartikel verletzt worden war. Es handelt sich um den ersten gesicherten Fall von M. apiospermum-Keratomykose in Kanada. Bei frühzeitiger mykologischer Untersuchung und Diagnose hätte der Verlust des Auges möglicherweise vermieden werden können.
