Issue Date: | 20-Jun-2013 | Publication information: | Medical Mycology Case Reports 2013; 2(): 132-3 | Abstract: | Prototheca wickerhamii has been predominantly recognised as a pathogen in immunocompromised hosts with deficits in innate or cellular immunity. The role of specific immunoglobulin against Prototheca in host immunity is uncertain. We describe a case of persistent cutaneous protothecosis in a patient with hypogammaglobulinemia most likely due to common variable immunodeficiency, with clinical response to voriconazole. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/12046 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.mmcr.2013.06.002 | ORCID: | Journal: | Medical Mycology Case Reports | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24432237 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Common variable immunodeficiency Hypogammaglobulinemia Prototheca Protothecosis Voriconazole |
