[5 new cases of entomophthoromycosis observed in Cameroon. Role of immunofluorescence in thr diagnosis]
Abstract
The authors present five new cases of entomophthoromycosis observed during three years of histopathology in Cameroon. Three classic cases of rhinoentomophthoromycosis. In one case, Conidiobolus coronatus was isolated. Two cases of subcutaneous entomophthoromycosis, without isolation of the germ. In one observation, the clinical and histological aspect suggested mucormycosis post entomophthoromycosis. An immunofluorescence technique showed the Basidiobolus haptosporus to be the real cause.
