Systemic Mycoses by Novel Onygenalean Fungal Pathogens Emergomyces spp and Blastomyces percursus in Rwanda

Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: We report 2 cases of infection by fungi unprecedented in Rwanda. One patient with emergomycosis presented with disseminated disease and prominent cutaneous involvement and one patient with African blastomycosis had cutaneous and osseous disease. These cases illustrate the clinicopathologic and molecular traits of novel dimorphic onygenalean species in Rwanda.
