- Conidiobolomycosis (or entomophoromycosis), is a relatively rare infectious disease caused by a fungus belonging to the genus Conidiobolus within the order Entomophthorales and in the class Zygomycetes. These fungi are generally considered saprobes, decomposers, distributed in plant detritus and soil. Three species in the genus Conidiobolus are known to cause diseases in humans and in animals: C. coronatus, C. incongruus, and C. lamprauges. Initially, human and animal cases of conidiobolomycosis were limited to tropical and subtropical areas, but nowadays the disease is diagnosed in almost every continent. The major clinical symptoms of infection are stigmatizing; they include facial deformities with extensive nasal obstruction and bleeding, due to the presence of subcutaneous granulomatous changes. This article presents the clinical signs as well as methods of diagnosis and treatment of infections caused by fungi Conidiobolus. Conidiobolomycosis has so far been diagnosed in the immunocompetent humans, dogs, horses, sheep, and goats. Airways are probably the route for C. coronatus infection. The diagnosis is based on the clinical symptoms, visualization of hyphae during histopathology or fungus isolation in culture by microbiological examination. So far, no antifungal treatment regimens have been proposed. Saturated potassium iodide is the drug of choice. Administration of amphotericin B or trimethoprim with sulfamethoxazole has also shown good therapeutic effect.
