Phaeoacremonium junior phaeohyphomycosis: A case report of the first human infection
Phaeoacremonium junior is a rare dematiaceous fungus found in woody plants, grapevine, and fruit trees. We report the first case of human infection with Phaeoacremonium junior who presented with a subcutaneous cyst after a thorn prick. Identification was done by sequencing the partial beta-tubulin and partial actin genes and their multigene phylogeny.
