The authors describe spheric to ovoid chlamydoconidia and mucoraceous hyphae in tissues from four patients, two with cutaneous and two with pulmonary zygomycosis. The diagnosis in each case was confirmed by immunofluorescence staining and the presence of characteristic hyphae in tissue. It is important that these conidia be recognized, because they can easily be mistaken for other fungi, nematode ova, or other microorganisms in tissue sections, thereby resulting in the potential for misdiagnosis.
作者描述了4例患者组织中的球形至卵形厚垣孢子和毛霉样菌丝，其中2例为皮肤接合菌病，2例为肺接合菌病。每例诊断均经免疫荧光染色及组织中特征性菌丝的存在得以证实。认识到这些厚垣孢子很重要，因为它们在组织切片中很容易被误认为是其他真菌、线虫卵或其他微生物，从而可能导致误诊。
