Phaeohyphomycosis is a term used to describe infections caused by dematiaceous fungi, i.e. fungi which contain melanin in their cell wall. Cladophialophora bantiana has been implicated to cause brain abscess in immunocompromised patients. Infection caused by Cladophialophora bantiana in an immunocompetent host is relatively rare. Surgical site infection at abdominal subcutaneous tissue caused by Cladophialophora bantiana was noted in this case, which was rarely reported.
暗色丝孢霉病是一个用于描述由暗色真菌引起的感染的术语,即其细胞壁中含有黑色素的真菌。班替枝孢霉被认为可在免疫功能低下的患者中引起脑脓肿。在免疫功能正常的宿主中,由班替枝孢霉引起的感染相对罕见。本病例中发现了由班替枝孢霉引起的腹部皮下组织手术部位感染,这一情况鲜有报道。
