The story is a horrific cataclysm that begins with an outbreak of plant fungus afflicting humanity. The possibility of this happening in real life seemed fanciful, but now the first case has been discovered of a man infected with the fungus Chondrostereum purpureum.
From fantasy to reality that he thought was far away
A "killer" plant fungus has infected humans, causing flu-like symptoms in what researchers say is the world's first case.
Chondrosarcoma is the fungus that causes silver leaf disease in plants, and is the most common type of rose. It is spread by airborne spores, and gets its name because it gradually turns the leaves silver—and is usually fatal.
So far, it has not been known to infect humans, but doctors in India have reported what they believe is the first case.
First known case of a man with Chondrostereum purpureum
The patient was a 61-year-old male who received treatment at Apollo Multispecialty Hospitals, Kolkata, and had symptoms such as cough, fatigue, difficulty swallowing, and a hoarse voice for three months.
Unlike people who are considered at high risk for the fungal infection known as jumping, such as those with cancer, HIV, respiratory disease, or an organ transplant, the man had no history of illnesses. However, he was an expert in phytomycology, which involved working with mushrooms and various phytofungi.
CT scan showed a right segmented abscess.
Tests at the hospital revealed that the infection had caused an abscess in the trachea in her neck, partially blocking her airway. Doctors drained the pus and the man was given an antifungal medication daily for two months.
The condition happened 2 years ago, he is now "completely fine" and the infection has not returned.
The injury is described in the journal Medical Mycology Case Reports, Available from Science DirectThe doctors, authors and those who treated the patient said the man's sudden condition "raises serious questions" about the ability of plant pathogens to cause disease in healthy humans and animals.
If the fungi can escape the phagocytic pathway and are able to evade the host's immune system, they can establish themselves as human pathogens.
