Mycological and histopathology findings. a A colony was producing a red-wine colored pigment that diffused into dextrose agar plate incubated; (b) Reverse side of the colony; (c) Staining with lactophenol cotton blue revealed the hyphae were highly branched and these branched hyphae had already undergone arthroconidiogenesis; (d) Histopathological examination revealed abundant yeast-like organisms in the cytoplasm of histocytes. The organisms were spherical to oval, about 3–8 um in diameter and occasional contained septum. (periodic acid-Schiff staining, × 400)
