Severe infection of the knee joint by Pseudallescheria boydii in a 23-year-old female resulted in complete destruction of the cartilaginous surface. The possibility of entry of the fungus through mild abrasions of unperforated skin is discussed. The clinical appearance is compared with that of Scedosporium prolificans. Antimycotic miconazole-itraconazole treatment, applied during a period of 4 months, was successful; no side-effects were noted.

D008271 Mycetoma A chronic progressive subcutaneous infection caused by species of fungi (eumycetoma), or actinomycetes (actinomycetoma). It is characterized by tumefaction, abscesses, and tumor-like granules representing microcolonies of pathogens, such as MADURELLA fungi and bacteria ACTINOMYCETES, with different grain colors.

D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.
