In recent years, the incidence of superficial fungal infections involving nondermatophytic and noncandidal fungi increased considerably. The objective of this work was to analyze the epidemiological, clinical and mycological fungal infections due to nondermatophytic and noncandidal fungi diagnosed in the laboratory of parasitology-mycology of Le Dantec hospital in Dakar. With a retrospective study of the various cases of nondermatophytic and noncandidal fungi isolated in the laboratory of parasitology-mycology during the period of November 2013 to December 2014, we collected 22 cases of infections in 11 men and 11 women; age ranging from 17 to 75 years with a mean of 45.3 years (sex ratio=1): eight cases of intertrigo, seven cases of onychomycosis, four cases of palmoplantar keratoderma (KPP), a case of onychomycosis associated with interdigital intertrigo, a case of infectious myositis and one case of African histoplasmosis. We have isolated and identified a total of 22 nondermatophytic and noncandidal fungi: ten Fusarium, five Trichosporon, two Chrysosporium, two Geotrichum, one Rhodotorula, one Neoscytalidium dimidiatum and one Histoplasma capsulatum var. duboisii. So we are seeing the emergence of nondermatophytic and noncandidal increasingly isolated from superficial and local lesions. These fungi, generally contaminants or commensal, cause a problem regarding their direct involvement in pathological processes in which they are isolated. So we should respect the recommendations proposed for their involvement in pathological processes and, by a collaboration between clinician and biologist, demonstrate their real involvement through effective, targeted treatment.

During maturation, microspores pass through a series of morphologically distinguishable stages or compartments. A study has been made of the systematic fluctuations in the frequency of microspores in these compartments, when plants are grown under rigidly controlled conditions. A new approach to the construction of cumulative flux rate curves is described; these give the number of cells passing the compartment boundaries per unit time. The curves obtained indicate that simple models, which assume constant flux rates and compartment transit times, will not explain the observations. It is evident that not only do microspores mature at different rates, but that the maturation rate of individual microspores varies during the developmental sequence. The overall process may be controlled by the intimate relationship which exists between the microspores and the tapetal periplasmodium in the Tradescantiae.
