“…Novel sequences generated in this study were deposited in GenBank (Table 1), and the taxonomic novelties in MycoBank (13, http://www.MycoBank.org). Sequences of each locus were aligned through MAFFT v. 7 (14), using the default parameters, and were manually corrected in MEGA v. curvata, P. ocularis and P. limonesiae grew slowly at 37°C, and P. limonesiae sporulated well at 37°C, which is comparable with P. curvata (3); while P. hongkongensis and P. pluriloculosa showed no growth at 37°C, and the maximum growth temperature of P. endophytica was 35°C (2,3,4).…”

“…The genus Phialemoniopsis ( Sordariomycetes ) presently contains six species, four of which have been isolated from human fluids, skin or nails [ 2 ]. Since the introduction of Phialemoniopsis in 2013 [ 2 ], a further two species have been added, namely P. hongkonensis , from a nodule on a human forearm [ 3 ], and P. endophytica , the only species thus far isolated from plants [ 4 ].…”
Rare or opportunistic fungal infections are mostly described in immunosuppressed patients. We present a case of a cutaneous phaeohyphomycosis that developed on the dorsal foot in an immunosuppressed woman suffering from AIDS, caused by a novel Phialemoniopsis species. It clinically presented as an indurated violaceous plaque, surmounted by nodules exuding a sero-purulent discharge. A filamentous fungus was isolated from pus and cutaneous biopsy. ITS and LSU sequences phylogenetically resolved the fungus as an unknown species of Phialemoniopsis, which is an unresolved family within Sordariomycetes. In this study we describe the new species as Phialemoniopsis limonesiae, which clusters on a single branch clearly separated from its closest phylogenetic neighbours. This new strain showed low MIC to itraconazole, voriconazole and posaconazole.

“…Phialemoniopsis is a new genus established by Perdomo et al (4) after phylogenetic investigation of the unidentified clinical isolates of Acremonium, Phiale monium and Lecythophora by detailed morphological and molecular analyses (4,5). The genus includes 5 species: P. ocularis (=Srcopodium oculorum), P. curvata (=Phialemonium curvata), P. cornearis, P. pluriloculosa and P. hongkongensis (4,6).…”
“…These organisms are naturally found in the environment such as soil, sewage, and river water. Currently, six species are known— Phialemoniopsis cornearis, Phialemoniopsis curvatum (formerly Phialemonium curvatum), Phialemoniopsis ocularis, Phialemoniopsis hongkongensis, Phialemoniopsis endophytica and Phialemoniopsis pluriloculosa [ 1 , 2 ]. Phaeohyphomycosis due to these organisms is typically related to skin and soft tissue after trauma or injury [ 3 ].…”
Fungal infections due to
Phialemoniopsis
spp. are rarely reported in the medical literature. We report the first two cases of fungal bursitis of the knee by
Phialemoniopsis pluriloculosa
, which has not been previously reported. Both patients were successfully treated with a six-month course of posaconazole.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
