Basidiobolomycosis with lymph node involvement.

A Kamalam, A S Thambiah

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Basidiobolomycosis, a fungal infection, can affect lymph nodes, challenging the notion it only impacts subcutaneous tissue. Lymph node biopsy is recommended for diagnosis and understanding this Phycomycetes-caused disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Mycology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Basidiobolomycosis is a rare fungal infection caused by Entomophthorales.
    • Previous understanding suggested limited subcutaneous tissue involvement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report two cases of Basidiobolomycosis.
    • To highlight lymph node involvement in Basidiobolomycosis.
    • To advocate for improved etiological classification of Phycomycetes-induced diseases.

    Main Methods:

    • Case reporting.
    • Clinical observation.
    • Mycological studies of lymph node biopsies.

    Main Results:

    • Two cases of Basidiobolomycosis were documented.
    • Basidiobolus haptosporus was identified as the causative agent in one case with lymph node involvement.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Lymph node involvement indicates the disease extends beyond subcutaneous tissues.

    • Conclusions:

    • Basidiobolomycosis caused by B. haptosporus can involve lymph nodes.
    • Accurate etiological classification of Phycomycetes is crucial due to distinct clinical presentations.
    • Routine lymph node biopsy and mycological analysis are recommended for diagnosing suspected cases.
