  • Title: [New approaches to phycomycoses (apropos of 2 cases of rhino-entomophthoromycosis)].
    Author: Debrie JC, Conessa C, Martet G, Lecamus JL, Touze JE.
    Journal: Med Trop (Mars); 1991; 51(2):191-200. PubMed ID: 1895919.
    Abstract:
    It is an uncommon affection (only 100 cases reported), observed primarily in African peri-equatorial zone. The rhinoentomophtoromycoses are caused by a phycomycetous fungus, class of zygomycetes: Conidiobolus coronatus. They are subcutaneomucus mycoses with centro-facial localizations. During the past ten years, three points have been put into light. 1. A true therapeutic revolution thanks to imidazoles. 2. A better knowledge of this disease in which caricatural forms are far form being the most numerous. 3. A socio-cultural African approach better understood, as such a disease is still considered as the result of a transgression or a fault.
