A case of a pulmonary intracavitary fungus ball composed of Syncephalastrum sp., a member of the class Zygomycetes not previously reported in association with human disease, is presented. The fungus was cultured preoperatively from bronchial secretions as well as from the fungal mass from the resected lung. This fungus appeared to behave in a saprophytic manner similar to that of the more common Aspergillus fungus ball.
本文报告一例由接合菌纲的共头霉属真菌构成的肺内真菌球病例,该属真菌此前未见与人类疾病相关的报道。术前从支气管分泌物以及切除肺组织的真菌团块中培养出了该真菌。这种真菌的行为似乎与更为常见的曲霉菌性真菌球类似,呈腐生方式生长。
