Abstract: | In 17 previously reported cases of cladosporiosis, no reliable therapy was described, and death occurred usually within one year of diagnosis. Pretreatment isolates from our two patients were inhibited by 6.2 mug/ml and 3.1mug/ml of flucytosine, respectively. Although both patients died, postmortem examination results showed that in one patient, the fungus had been eradicated. In the other patient, C trichoides that was isolated at postmortem examination was resistant to flucytosine treatment. |
