[10 new clinical cases of mycoses caused by Entomophorales in Cameroon]
Abstract
Authors describe ten new cases of Entomophthoromycosis in Cameroon. In four cases of subcutaneous phycomycosis, Basidiobolus meristoporus was isolated in one case. In six cases of rhino-entomophthoromycosis, we have obtained by culture two Basidiobolus meristoporus and one Entomophthora coronata. In Cameroon, rhino-entomophthoromycosis may be caused by the two species Basidiobolus meristoporus and Entomophthora coronata.
