“…b Aorta, ×200; wall necrosis with fading of the internal elastic lamina (ie), massive fiber swelling together with fragmentation and metachromasia of the inner media (1), fiber diffusion, focal swelling, cellular infiltration of the outer media (2), polynuclear infiltration of the adventitia (3) insufficient. The fungus is often resistant against amphotericin B and 5-fluorocytosine [6] which are the preferred drugs for treatment of systemic fungal infection. Imidazole derivatives are considered highly efficient against pseudallescheriasis and itraconazole is considered to be as effective as other azoles [17].…”

“…Infection by Pseudallescheria boydii after submersion has been rarely reported [5]. This hyalohyphomycete is found in soil, sewage, and stagnant water [6]. The mycetoma of the lower limbs, also known as "Madura foot", is the most common infection caused by this fungus [6].…”

“…Focal infections, e.g., sinusitis, otitis externa, parotitis, osteomyelitis, endocarditis as well as systemic infections have been reported in few cases [7][8][9]. Near drowning can cause immunosuppression [6] thus facilitating the dissemination of focal infections. We report the clinical course of a 53-year-old woman who died because of subarachnoid bleeding from ruptured mycotic aneurysms 4 month after a near-drowning episode.…”

Fatal mycotic aneurysm caused by Pseudallescheria boydii after near drowning

Pseudallescheria boydii is a rare cause of mycotic infection. Factors predisposing to systemic infection include traumas, immunosuppression, and near drowning. We report a case of multiple aneurysms caused by this hyalohyphomycete, occurred after near drowning. The car driven by a 53-year-old woman plunged into a canal in The Netherlands. After a 20-min-long submersion, the woman was rescued. At hospital, a severe aspiration of muddy water and a mycotic pneumonia were diagnosed. Despite the immediate prescription of a long-term antimycotic therapy and the initial good response, the patient died 4 months later. The autopsy showed a mycotic aneurysm of the abdominal aorta and multiple ruptured mycotic aneurysms of the circle of Willis with fatal subarachnoid bleeding.

The study was conducted to isolate and characterize the microbes causing stunted growth in commercial broilers from VaiVai Poultry Farm (Kornai, Katapara, Dinajpur), Israfil Poultry Farm (Basherhat, Dinajpur), Guljar Poultry Farm (North Sibrampur, Dinajpur) and Maa Poultry Farm (Nayanpur, Dinajpur), during the period from January 2011 to July 2011. A total of 158 samples comprising dead birds, sick birds, litter, droppings, poultry feed and drinking water were collected among them 56 (n= 56) positive samples were isolated for this study from commercial broilers and subjected to primary isolation by propagating in nutrient broth followed by culture on selective media-Brilliant Green Agar, Salmonella-Shigella Agar, Eosin Methylene Blue Agar and Sabouraud's Dextrose Agar media. Gram's staining techniques were performed. Biochemical properties of the isolates were studied and reaction in TSI agar slant was also observed. Among the 56 positive isolates 9 isolates were found positive for Fungi, 37 isolates were found positive for E. coli and 26 isolates were found to be positive for Salmonella spp. that are the casual factors for stunted growth in commercial broilers. Among them 16 isolates were found mixed infection with Salmonella spp. and E. coli also included in both prevalence. The prevalence of Fungi, E. coli and Salmonella spp. were recorded as 16.07%, 66.07% and 46.42% respectively. Among the microbes isolated Escherichia coli was determined as predominant bacteria (66.07%) causing stunted growth in commercial broilers than Salmonella spp. (46.42%) and Fungi (16.07%). Litter and dropping samples were the highest sources of contamination than tracheal swabs. Fungal samples were isolated from feed, litter and drinking water samples and the prevalence of Fungi were recorded as lowest (16.07%) than other microbes causing stunted growth than Escherichia coli (66.07%) and Salmonella spp. (46.42%).

In this study, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) specimens from 247 immunocompromised patients were investigated for the incidence of opportunistic fungi. In the direct examination and culture of the specimens, 5 (2.02%) of filamentous fungi and 55 (22.26%) yeasts were isolated and identified as follows: Aspergillus fumigatus (2), A. terreus (1), A. nidulans (1), Mucor sp. (1), Candida albicans (29), C. glabrata (3), C. Parapsilosis (1), Trichosporon beigelii (1), Candida sp. (13) and unknown yeasts (8). In addition, one strain of Nocardia asteroides and two strains of Streptomyces sp. were isolated.
