“…This investigator (184) explored the possibility of snuff-taking as a contributing factor but did not isolate Conidiobolus from any of the tobacco samples studied in his laboratory. Mukhopadhyay et al (312) reported a case of sinusitis zygomycosis caused by C. coronatus in a 72-year-old Brazilian woman with a history of chewing tobacco leaves, pond bathing, and cattle raising, suggesting that other possible contributing factors should be addressed.…”

“…The diagnosis was made on the basis of the autopsy findings; there were silver-positive and PAS-positive hyphal structures within associated Splendore-Hoeppli phenomena and marked eosinophil infiltration with necrosis, histological findings nearly unique for B. ranarum in human tissue (7,13,14). The only organisms in the histologic differential are Conidiobolus coronatus, Conidiobolus incongruus, and Pythium insidiosum, organisms that are associated with head and neck disease in humans or pleuropericarditis in immunosuppressed patients; however, these microorganisms would be equally rare as a cause of disseminated disease in immunocompetent subjects (4,8,15,19).…”
