| mycotic | Pertaining to a mycosis, caused by fungi. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| mycotic aneurysm | <radiology> Aetiology, IV drug abuse, bacterial endocarditis (12%), immunocompromise (malignancy, EtOH, steroids, chemo, DM, etc.), S/P aortic valve surgery, CABG organism, S. Aureus (53%), Salmonella (33-50%), streptococcus Mycobacterium site, ascending aorta greater than visceral artery greater than intracranial artery greater than upper/lower extremity artery findings, saccular structure arising eccentrically from aortic wall, periaortic gas formation, adjacent vertebral osteomyelitis, adjacent reactive lymph node enlargement, life threatening hemmorhage (75%), 67% overall mortality (12 Dec 1998) |
| mycotic arthritis | <pathology> Infection of a joint space by fungus. Common fungi that can cause mycotic arthritis include coccidioidomycosis, histoplasmosis, blastomycosis, cryptococcosis, sporotrichosis and candidiasis. Infection of a joint generally occurs as a result of a primary fungal infection in the lungs. Treatment is with antifungal agents (for example amphotericin B, ketoconazole). (27 Sep 1997) |
| mycotic endocarditis | Endocarditis due to infection by fungi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mycotic keratitis | An infection of the cornea of the eye caused by a fungus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intracranial mycotic aneurysm | <radiology> 3% of all intracranial aneurysms; multiple in 20%, source: subacute bacterial endocarditis (65%), acute bacterial endocarditis (9%), menigitis (9%), septic thrombophlebitis (9%), myxoma, location: peripheral to first bifurcation of major vessel (64%), often near the surface of brain (especially over convexities), Note: develops recurrent bleeding more frequently than congenital aneurysms See: mycotic aneurysm (12 Dec 1998) |
