We noticed a consistent prevalence of these organisms as single isolations from mycological routine specimens. To investigate the prevalence of black yeast\u2010like fungi in skin, hair and nail specimens and to discuss the probability of these species to be involved in disease. Slow\u2010growing black yeast\u2010like fungi in routine specimens were prospectively collected and identified. A questionnaire regarding patient information was sent to physicians regarding black yeast\u2010like fungus positive patients. A total of 20\u2003746 dermatological specimens were examined by culture. Black yeast\u2010like fungi accounted for 2.2% (<jats:italic>n\u2003<\/jats:italic>=\u2003108) of the positive cultures. Only 31.0% of the samples, culture positive for black yeast\u2010like fungi were direct microscopy positive when compared with overall 68.8% of the culture positive specimens. The most prevalent species were <jats:italic>Phialophora europaea<\/jats:italic> (<jats:italic>n\u2003<\/jats:italic>=\u200329), <jats:italic>Coniosporium epidermidis<\/jats:italic> (<jats:italic>n\u2003<\/jats:italic>=\u200312), <jats:italic>Ochroconis cf. humicola<\/jats:italic> (<jats:italic>n\u2003<\/jats:italic>=\u20036) and <jats:italic>Cladophialophora boppii<\/jats:italic> (<jats:italic>n\u2003<\/jats:italic>=\u20034). These are not common saprobes and thus less likely to be coincidental colonizers. In 10\/30 cases, discolouration of nail\/skin had been noticed. A limited number of black yeast\u2010like fungi were repeatedly isolated from routine specimens suggesting that they may play a role in superficial infections or as colonizers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1439-0507.2011.02055.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,7,8]],"date-time":"2011-07-08T16:19:37Z","timestamp":1310141977000},"page":"161-167","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["Black yeast\u2010like fungi in skin and nail: it probably matters"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"55","author":[{"given":"D.
