Phaeohyphomycosis is the disease caused by the dematiaceous hyphomycetes or those fungi that are darkly pigmented because of the presence of melanin in their cell wall. Infections with these fungi may remain localized at the site of traumatic inoculation or within the sinuses or may become disseminated. As these fungi pose a significant problem to both the clinician who must treat the patient and the laboratorian faced with identification of the organism, a selection of representative organisms was presented at the meeting entitled "Focus on Fungus Infections." These fungi often infect patients who are not overtly immunocompromised and therefore may be encountered in a wide variety of cases.
暗色丝孢霉病是由暗色丝孢菌引起的疾病，这类真菌因细胞壁中存在黑色素而颜色较深。感染这些真菌后，可能局限于创伤接种部位或鼻窦内，也可能扩散。由于这些真菌给必须治疗患者的临床医生和面临鉴定病原体的实验室工作人员都带来了重大问题，在题为“聚焦真菌感染”的会议上展示了一些具有代表性的病原体。这些真菌常常感染没有明显免疫功能低下的患者，因此在各种各样的病例中都可能遇到。
