腐皮病

定义

腐霉菌病是一种危及生命的oömycete 隐袭腐霉感染。尽管动物感染在世界各地广泛发生，但人类腐霉菌病主要局限于泰国，除眼部疾病外，与潜在的血液病，特别是地中海贫血密切相关。患有播散性或血管性疾病患者死亡率很高。后一种形式侵犯动脉壁导致血管闭塞，并经常需要截肢。眼部腐霉菌病患者通常需要摘除眼球。有一小部分的感染仅限于皮肤和皮下组织。

Pythiosis is a life-threatening infection by the oömycete Pythium insidiosum. Although infection in animals occurs widely across the world, human pythiosis is largely confined to Thailand and, with the exception of ocular disease, is closely associated with underlying haematological disease, especially thalassaemia. There is a high mortality in patients with disseminated or vascular disease. In the latter form, invasion of arterial wall results in vascular occlusion and a frequent need for amputation. Patients with ocular pythiosis commonly require enucleation. A small proportion of infections are limited to the skin and subcutaneous tissues.
