actinomycotic mycetomas

32
Q

clinical triad for fungal mycetoma

A
  1. tumefaction - tumour like swelling

unfrequently found in Australia

often misdiagnosed as staph infection

35
Q

sporotrichosis symptoms

A
  1. small papule on the periphery at the site of foreign body trauma
  2. gradual development of an enlarging, non-healing ulcer
  3. appearance of pus filled red swellings moving up the limb (following lymphatic vessels)
  4. these swellings may discharge pus
  5. the infection progresses over a number of months if untreated, and gradually heals

chromoblastomycosis clinical features

A

scaly nodule at the site of inoculation
scaly whitish plaque thats reaps slowly
becomes raised and warty over time
may develop into cauliflower like region

38
Q

pheohyphomycosis

A

typical in the normal. host in the cystic form

in the immunocompromised, infection may involve the paranasal sinuses or the brain
