Abstract

Introduction

Syncephalastrum spp. is a mucoral that rarely produces pathology. Fungal balls caused by this genus are infrequent. It requires early diagnosis and treatment to avoid associated morbidity and mortality.

Methods

We describe 2 clinical cases of sinus fungus balls caused by Syncephalastrum spp. and review the literature.

Results

Two patients were treated for sinus fungus balls. When their samples were analysed, the aetiology was determined to be Syncephalastrum spp. A case of pulmonary fungus ball due to Syncephalastrum spp. is described in the literature. All cases, including these described in the present study, had a good evolution after treatment.

Conclusions

Syncephalastrum spp. is a filamentous fungus that should be considered as an aetiology of sinus fungus ball.

由鞘氨醇属真菌引起的窦真菌栓：2 个临床病例和文献综述

导言头孢菌属是一种粘菌，很少产生病变。由该菌属引起的真菌球并不常见。方法我们描述了两例由合成头孢菌属引起的鼻窦真菌球的临床病例，并回顾了相关文献。对他们的样本进行分析后，确定病原体为合头菌属。文献中描述了一例由合头菌属引起的肺部真菌球。结论头孢菌属是一种丝状真菌，应被视为鼻窦真菌球的病原体。

期刊介绍： Hoy está universalmente reconocida la renovada y creciente importancia de la patología infecciosa: aparición de nuevos agentes patógenos, de cepas resistentes, de procesos con expresión clínica hasta ahora desconocida, de cuadros de una gran complejidad. Paralelamente, la Microbiología y la Infectología Clínicas han experimentado un gran desarrollo como respuesta al reto planteado por la actual patología infecciosa. Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica es la Publicación Oficial de la Sociedad Española SEIMC. Cumple con la garantía científica de esta Sociedad, la doble función de difundir trabajos de investigación, tanto clínicos como microbiológicos, referidos a la patología infecciosa, y contribuye a la formación continuada de los interesados en aquella patología mediante artículos orientados a ese fin y elaborados por autores de la mayor calificación invitados por la revista.
