The main deep-seated fungal diseases and their encountered pathology in New Caledonia and other islands of the South Pacific are reviewed (1970-96). Cryptococcosis is encountered in all islands of the South Pacific, Australia and Papua New Guinea, with a predominance of variety gattii, which is associated with some species of Eucalyptus. Histoplasmosis is not uncommon, and there was an epidemic in New Caledonia in 1994 among people who had visited a bat-inhabited cave. Mycetomas, in particular presenting as pale granules in tissues, are encountered in New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, Fiji and French Polynesia. Other fungal infections, such as zygomycosis, sporotrichosis (three cases) and chromomycosis (six cases) are rarely observed in New Caledonia.
回顾了新喀里多尼亚和南太平洋其他岛屿(1970 - 1996年)主要的深部真菌病及其所遇到的病理学情况。隐球菌病在南太平洋所有岛屿、澳大利亚和巴布亚新几内亚均有发现,以加蒂变种为主,它与某些桉树种类有关。组织胞浆菌病并不罕见,1994年在新喀里多尼亚,曾去过蝙蝠栖息洞穴的人群中发生了一次流行。足菌肿,特别是在组织中呈现为浅色颗粒的足菌肿,在新喀里多尼亚、瓦努阿图、巴布亚新几内亚、斐济和法属波利尼西亚均有发现。其他真菌感染,如接合菌病、孢子丝菌病(3例)和着色芽生菌病(6例)在新喀里多尼亚很少见。
