Abstract

Two case reports add to the rare recorded instances of infection of man and other animals by Phoma or Phoma-like molds. Phoma cava was consistently cultured from aural dermatitis of a white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), and tissue sections of the ear revealed fragments of apparent pycnidial walls, as well as many septate hyphae. In the second instance, numerous Phoma-like pycnidia occurred in and upon the hairs of a young child, in a lesion initiated by Trichophyton infection.

Resumen

Se describen dos nuevos casos a la rara incidencia de infecciones producidas por Phoma y hongos similares en el hombre y otros animales. De una dermatitis micótica auricular en un venado de cola blanca (Odocoileus virginianus) se aisló repetida y constantemente Phoma cava. Los cortes histológicos de la lesións mostraron numerosas hifas septadas y aparentes fragmentos de la pared del picinidio. En el segundo caso, en un niño de pocos años cuya lesión comenzó con una infección por tricofitos, se observaron numerosos picnidios de tipo Phoma tanto intra-como extra-capilares.
