I have skin colored like lesions with white dots near the back of my throat, under my tongue and on the roof of my mouth near my front teeth. These became much more apparent recent, as they are easily missed because they are near the color of my skin. They are also hard to photograph because they seem to have a mucous covering that is somewhat reflective.
I believe that the teeth are actually sporulating. I notice the black string like projections on the other teeth. These come off when I brush my teeth and show up new everyday. I also took a picture of some of the filaments that I spit up out of my mouth. This is a regular occurrence and they seem to all have similar shape and structure but can be different colors depending on what I have eaten or drank.
I do believe this is a chronic condition or possibly re-occurring, due to the length of time and reoccurring presentation.
I have been worked up for an invasive fungal infection. The fungal blood culture is negative, the beta glucan b 1-3 is negative, blood culture for aerobic and non-aerobic are negative. My cryptococcus and coccidiomycoss tests are negative. I have been unable to get a biopsy due to covid. I have actually been unable to get the other teeth extracted.
This has left a few possibilities on the table: Absidia, Mucor, Rhizopus, and the yeast phase of Blastomyces. And of course other non-fungus pathogens such as NTM, parasites, etc that would not show up on the mentioned tests.
I have a history of Babesia without lyme disease, so I have been tested for Bartonella, which was negative. I also had a rat infestation in my attic that started around the time of the symptoms. I have to consider that the pathogen could be directly or indirectly related to rats.
Upon reading about Rhinosporidiosis, some of the pictures looked very similar and the symptoms and presentation seemed to match. Are the clinical pictures consistent? Do you have any other suggestions?
