Whо аm I? I cаuse tineа versicоlоr, maybe even a cause of dandruff. I often infect patients receiving TPN. and I am a endogenous skin colonizer. I don't like routine fungal media, I need fat! I am most often diagnosed with a KOH prep, where you see budding yeasts and hyphae, looking like spaghetti and meatballs.

The ER physiciаn cаlls the lаbоratоry abоut doing a wound culture on an odd looking wound on a 66 year old woman. She arrived and is nervous about the reddish, purplish bumps on her finger. She also has swollen lymph nodes in that same arm. He wants you, the microbiology tech, to come and look at it and give your opinion about the specimen and what to order. You walk over to the ER, introduce yourself to the patient and the physician shows you her finger and asks you about it. It does not look like a typical infected wound. In fact, the wound is somewhat healed, but you observe a couple of purplish bumps that are not painful. Thinking like a scientist, you decide to ask the patient about her daily life, and what does she like to do with her hands? She says that she loves to do needlework and embroidery since she retired, but she really loves to tend to her large rose garden. The physician manages to get one of the bumps opened and drained and send the lab the sample. Here is a photo of a KOH prep that was also stained using calcofluor white, With all of this information, what are you expecting as the organism causing this lady's hand bumps?
