chemical constituents of the essential oils of three wood rotting fungi
Flavour and Fragrance Journal, 2006Co-Authors: Fernando Campos Ziegenbein, Hanspeter Hanssen, Wilfried A KonigAbstract:Volatiles from the wood-rotting fungi Schizophyllum commune, Datronia mollis and Pycnoporus cinnabarinus were obtained by hydrodistillation and investigated by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. In total, 20 compounds could be identified for the first time as volatile constituents of fungi. Major components were 1-hepten-3-one, 1-octen-3-ol and 2-pentyl furan.

pulmonary Schizophyllum commune infection developing mucoid impaction of the bronchi
Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine, 2007Co-Authors: Takashi Ishiguro, Noboru Takayanagi, Daidou Tokunaga, Kazuyoshi Kurashima, Aya Matsushita, Keiji Harasawa, Koichiro Yoneda, Noriko Tsuchiya, Shozaburo Yamaguchi, Yousuke MiyaharaAbstract:A 54-year-old woman was admitted for cough, sputum, and an abnormal chest X-ray shadow. Bronchoscopy showed mucoid impaction of the bronchi (MIB). Histopathologic evidence of mucous plugs was consistent with one component of allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis. Schizophyllum commune (S. commune) was identified. Two attempts at removal of the mucous plugs were unsuccessful. Itraconazole was then administered, and the mucous plugs disappeared. There are few reports of MIB due to S. commune; we herein report a case of MIB due to S. commune infection.

Schizophyllum commune sinusitis after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for myelodysplastic syndrome a case report and literature review
Transplant Infectious Disease, 2020Co-Authors: Taisuke Narazaki, Yasuhiro Nakashima, Yasuhiro Tsukamoto, Ruriko Nishida, Mariko Tsuda, Hiroki Muta, Daisaku Kimura, Toru Masuda, Akiko Takamatsu, Kenichi KohashiAbstract:Sinusitis is a serious infectious complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Schizophyllum commune (S commune) is a common basidiomycete fungus that is rarely involved in human disease. We report herein a case of S commune sinusitis after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. A 66-year-old man with myelodysplastic syndrome underwent allogeneic bone marrow transplantation and developed maxillary and ethmoid sinusitis. The sinusitis did not improve with liposomal amphotericin B after neutrophil engraftment, so we considered that surgical intervention was needed for the recovery of sinusitis. Endoscopic sinus surgery was performed. In the debridement tissue of paranasal mucosa, filamentous fungal elements were observed. Moreover, genetic analysis of the tissue revealed the presence of S commune. Schizophyllum commune should be recognized as a fungal pathogen that causes sinusitis after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. This case suggests the effectiveness of prompt surgical intervention with liposomal amphotericin B treatment for S commune sinusitis and the usefulness of genetic diagnosis for cases under antifungal treatment.

pulmonary nodules caused by Schizophyllum commune after cardiac transplantation
Journal of Infection, 2009Co-Authors: Jun Neng Roan, Hsin Yi Hsieh, Hung Wen Tsai, Chinhsin Hsu, Yu Jen Yang, Tsung Chain ChangAbstract:The incidence of pulmonary nodules after cardiac transplantation is not uncommon, and prompt diagnostic procedures are necessary to minimize disease-related morbidity and mortality. We report a 56-year-old woman who was found to have bilateral pulmonary nodules four months after cardiac transplantation. The microorganism was identified with a molecular diagnostic method as Schizophyllum commune, which had not been reported in English literature as a pathogen inducing pulmonary nodules after transplantation. She remained asymptomatic during the therapeutic period and the pulmonary nodules resolved six months later.
