Biological properties of Phoma macrostoma related to non-dermatophyte onychomycosis

First report of chronic invasive fungal rhinosinusitis in a patient with ovarian cancer caused by Didymella pedeiae and successful treatment with voriconazole: A case report

“…More, recent studies have also reported cases of Phoma infections in other parts of the human body. For instance, Phoma cava from the left ear, subcutaneous, and hand [ 10 , 11 ]; Phoma sorghina from face, neck, and hands [ 12 ]; Phoma exigua from lung [ 13 ]; Phoma macrostoma from onychomycosis[ 14 ]; Phoma herbarum from nail and toe [ 15 ]; and Phoma spp. from corneal infection [ 16 ].…”

Phoma as an Infectious Pathogen in Medical Practice

“…A number of publications related to the mention of fungi of the genus Phoma as an etiological factor in systemic and superficial mycoses, especially frequent pathologies in patients with immunosuppression, are reported (Zaitz et al 1997). This is evidenced by the data of cultural-morphological and molecular-genetic studies provided by various authors (Zaitz et al 1997;Balis et al 2006;Bennett et al 2018;Kukhar et al 2020).…”

“…Of the more than 200 currently known Phoma varieties, about 10 species are considered opportunistic or primarily pathogenic (De Hoog et al 2000;Boerema et al 2004;Aveskamp et al 2010). Among them are Phoma oculo-hominis (Valenzuela-Lopez et al 2018), Phoma eupyrena (Bakerspigel et al 1981), Phoma minutella (Baker et al 1987), Phoma hibernica (Roehm et al 2012), Phoma sorghina (Rai 1989), Phoma herbarum, Didymella heteroderae (Tullio et al 2010;Valenzuela-Lopez et al 2017), Phoma cava (Zaitz et al 1997;Valenzuela-Lopez et al 2018), Phoma minutispora (Shukla et al 1984), Phoma insulana (Hernández-Hernández et al 2018), Phoma macrostoma (Kukhar et al 2020), Phoma exigua (Balis et al 2006), Phoma glomerata (Errera et al 2008), and other fungi of the Phoma genus (Bennett et al 2018).…”

Potential Role of Phoma spp. for Mycogenic Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles

“…with chlamydospores 2019), endophytes (Rai et al 2018(Rai et al , 2020, and soil (Mathur and Thirumalachar 1959;Dorenbosch 1970). There are few cases of Phoma infection in human beings (Shukla et al 1984;Rai 1989Rai , 2004Suh 2005;Balis et al 2006;Tullio et al 2010;Kukhar et al 2020). Recently, an elaborated account on Phoma diseases their epidemiology and control was reported by Deb et al (2020).…”
