We report a case of cutaneous mucormycosis andEnterobacterinfection developing in a 50-year-old diabetic woman following a dog bite that showed delayed development and diagnosis in comparison with typical zygomycotic cutaneous lesions.

This case report describes the progressive wound infection in the left thigh of a 34-year-old man due to an old landmine explosion. The infection developed into rapidly spreading skin and soft tissue necrotising Saksenaea infection, despite antifungal therapy and surgical debridement. The report provides evidence that Saksenaea spp. should be added to the list of mucoralean fungi that can cause severe necrotising infection. It also highlights the need for improved early diagnostic procedures and enhanced understanding of Saksenaea virulence factors that contribute to necrotising infection.

Prototheca Wickerhamii

Biopsy of a wound infection of the palmar fascia in a young diabetic woman revealed characteristic periodic acid-Schiff-positive Prototheca species cells with a rosette configuration and internal septation. Prototheca wickerhamii was cultured repeatedly from the wound drainage and the biopsy tissue. Several diagnostic features distinguishing Prototheca species, saprophytic algae, from yeasts are: the formation of endospores by mitosis; greater variation in cell size (2 to 15 mum); the presence of cytoplasmic granules, particularly in old cultures; and the absence of budding forms and pseudomycelia. The organism was resistant to 5-fluorocytosine and the minimal inhibitory concentration of amphotericin B was 12.5 mug/ml. With the exception of the tetracycline group, all other 16 antibacterial agents tested appeared completely ineffective in vitro. A synergism between amphotericin B and tetracycline was clearly demonstrated by the use of the checkerboard method. Infection by Prototheca species may be more common than presently realized due to the common expedient of identifying yeast-like isolates as "yeast--not Candida albicans."
