Phaeoacremonium tuscanicum and Phaeoacremonium indicum sp. nov. associated with subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis
Researchers identified and described two rare fungal infections caused by Phaeoacremonium species in human patients. One case involved a previously unknown fungal species in humans called Phaeoacremonium indicum, discovered in an Indian transplant patient with a knee infection. Both cases were successfully treated with surgery, with one patient also receiving antifungal medication, demonstrating effective treatment approaches for these unusual infections.
