I am so sorry for your loss. No, I have never heard of it. I hope you are

physically well.

I have been so self absorbed that I forgot to respond. I too am so sorry as I am

sure we all are.

Ive not heard of this mold either, but am a relative newbie on the scene.

Hopefully someone will repond to your question.

Let us know if you have other questions or need anything from us.

Peni,

If you Google Cladophialophora bantiana you will find several

references. One of which is the following:

" Cladophialophora bantiana, a dematiaceous fungus, is an

uncommon pathogenic organism originally thought to more

commonly affect immunocompetent patients. Increasing numbers

of reports, however, describe the organism affecting

immunocompromised patients. "

Because it is identified as a fungi on soil and vegetative material

one would assume it is responsible for some of the suffering for

people exposed to mold (and bacteria and the filth of water

damaged buildings). But that assumption would be wrong

(qualified).

The condition identified as caused by Cladophialophora bantiana

and respnsible for your husbands death is an infection, not a

toxin or allergen or irritant. Further, it is an infection specfic to

certain body locations under precise internal conditions and it is

not common.

As a source of general and usual fungal infection exposure to the

indoor and outdoor environment is not of concern.

What we don't know, however, because nobody has looked for it,

is if Cladophialophora bantiana (or many of the other 100,000+

species) is present in WDB and if it has the same glucans,

enzymes, VOCs, etc that the more familiar WDB molds do.

Carl: I tend to agree with you. However, we should all be aware of Hooper's

findings regarding mycotoxins in tissue samples. He is also completing on

series on PCR DNA with his patented, Stacnybotrys Aspergillus and Penicilllium

probes. He is detecting Aspergillus and Penicillium species in biopsy and

autopsy materials. We are (Hooper, Gray and me) are putting together some case

studies on this. The most striking was sphenoid aspergilloma that tested

positive for A. terreus both by culture and PCR. The woman was treated with

antifungals and is doing okay so far. Also two different infants that died:

pulmonary bleeding and Reye's-like syndrome.

Remember - Corticosteroid therapy is an increased risk for Aspergillosis and

probably other fungi.

Oh Kathy,

I'm so sorry. My sympathies & prayers go out to you.

Mold is awful. I hope someone can answer.

May God give you strength. Please take all the time you need for yourself now.

Death is so difficult to deal with especially around the holidays...

I recently lost a brother who was killed by a motorist.... So I understand what

you are going through during this time of year.... I am not sure when you lost

your husband, but loss is so trying to the heart and soul...My sincere

sympathies....
