  • Title: [Anatomo-pathologic aspects of phycomycoses. 6 clinical cases observed in Ivory Coast].
    Author: Loubiêre R, Salaun JJ, Doucet J, Assale G, Frétillère Y, Ette A, Haeffner G.
    Journal: Bull Soc Pathol Exot Filiales; 1976; 69(1):40-53. PubMed ID: 186206.
    Abstract:
    Six cases of superficial phycomycosis have been recently demonstrated in Ivory Coast, the total number of cases being therefore 8 in this country. After a brief review of the etiology, clinical studies, treatment, and geographical distribution of the 150 world cases known to-day, the author studies the histological lesions of this hypodermic granulatous inflammation, whose characteristic aspects (polynuclear micro-abcesses, palissade histiocytes, filaments sheathed in an eosinophil precipitate) are easy to recognise. These anatomopathological aspects vary according to the topography, clinical evolution and treatment. The author presents a summary of the only ultrastructure known today. He points out the significance of this anatomo-pathologic study, which shows the evolution of the immunitary reaction and permits a relatively precise pronostic.
