A case of primary cutaneous zygomycosis caused by Mucor circinelloides is described. Histopathology showed typical hyphae along with chlamydospores. The isolate was identified by molecular and phenotypic methods. The utility of sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer region is highlighted; however, further studies are needed to assess species genetic heterogeneity.
描述了1例由卷枝毛霉引起的原发性皮肤接合菌病病例。组织病理学显示典型的菌丝以及厚垣孢子。通过分子和表型方法对分离株进行了鉴定。强调了转录间隔区序列分析的实用性;然而,需要进一步研究来评估物种的遗传异质性。
