Preferred Label : phaeohyphomycosis;
MeSH definition : OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTIONS caused by the dematiaceous (darkly pigmented) MITOSPORIC
FUNGI of ALTERNARIA, Bipolaris, CLADOSPORIUM, Curvularia, and EXOPHIALA. These fungi
have pigmented HYPHAE due to MELANIN in the cell wall. The initial subcutaneous cyst
from the infection can become systemic and spread rapidly to renal, pulmonary and
cerebral systems (see CEREBRAL PHAEOHYPHOMYCOSIS) in an IMMUNOCOMPROMISED HOST.;
