Fusarium verticillioides: evaluation of fumonisin production and effect of fungicides on in vitro inhibition of mycelial growth.

abstract：:Pseudallescheria boydii is a fungal organism known to affect immunocompromised patients. This organism is known to cause, in severe cases, invasive infection of various organs such as the central nervous, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems. We report an unusual case of pulmonary P. boydii pneumonia in an immunoco...
