Eumycetoma caused by Diaporthe phaseolorum (Phomopsis phaseoli): a case report and a mini-review of Diaporthe/Phomopsis spp invasive infections in humans

Abstract: Diaporthe phaseolorum (syn. Phomopsis phaseoli) is a frequent fungal parasite of plants, present on all continents around the world. It has rarely been involved in human diseases. We report a case of eumycetoma with osteomyelitis of the forefoot caused by this fungus and diagnosed by molecular biology. The patient had positive HTLV-1 serology and was a farmer from French Guiana who walked barefoot. He was successfully treated with long-term oral itraconazole (400 mg/day). A review of the literature underlines … Show more

“…The closely related taxa D. endophytica, Diaporthe schini, and Diaporthe terebinthifolii were originally described from Schinus in Brazil as endophytes (Gomes et al 2013). Species of Diaporthe are known to infect humans, particularly those who are immune compromised, although they are rarely medically important pathogens (Garcia-Reyne et al 2011;Iriart et al 2011). This phenomenon has been widely discussed due to recent outbreaks and occasional reports (Walsh & Groll 1999;Gauthier & Keller 2013;Cariello et al 2013).…”

“…ont été décrites : un eumycétome du pied avec ostéomyélite associée, traité avec succès par itraconazole [7] ; une ostéomyélite d'un doigt, régressive après parage chirurgical et traitement par itraconazole [16] ; une lésion nodulaire d'un doigt traitée par terbinafine associée à de l'itraconazole puis par voriconazole seul [5] ; et deux kératites [10,17] traitées par fluconazole. Toutes ces infections, tout comme pour notre cas, ont bien répondu à un traitement par antifongiques azolés.…”
