Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Mycology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Prototheca are colorless algae capable of causing human infections.
  • Protothecosis is an emerging infectious disease with limited documentation in Hungary.

Observation:

  • Two distinct cases of human protothecosis were identified.
  • Case 1: Colpitis (vaginal infection) caused by Prototheca.
  • Case 2: Disease of the cubital bursa (elbow joint) caused by Prototheca.

Findings:

  • Successful treatment of colpitis with tetracycline.
  • Effective surgical intervention for cubital bursa infection.
  • Detailed microbiological, epidemiological, and pathological analysis of these protothecosis cases.

Implications:

  • Highlights the diverse clinical presentations of protothecosis.
  • Emphasizes the importance of considering Prototheca in differential diagnoses.
  • Provides insights into treatment strategies for this rare algal infection.
