Hyalohyphomycosis caused by Paecilomyces variotii: a case report, animal pathogenicity and 'in vitro' sensitivity

J Naidu et al. Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek. 1992 Oct.

Abstract

A case of cutaneous infection in a 25-year-old male caused by Paecilomyces variotii is described. Animal pathogenicity studies with normal and cortisone-treated mice revealed the predeliction of P. variotii for skin and liver in both normal and cortisone-treated mice and for lungs and heart only in immunosuppressed mice. 5-fluorocytosine gave the best MIC value for P. variotii in vitro. This report documents for the first time that P. variotii causes cutaneous infection.
