Ho-Seok Sa et al. Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis. 2012 Aug.

Abstract

Schizophyllum commune, a basidiomycetous fungus, is a rare cause of mycotic disease in humans. We describe the first case of sino-orbital infection caused by S. commune in an immunocompetent woman who presented with maxillary sinusitis and inferior orbital tumor. Identification of the organism was confirmed by rRNA sequencing.
