The word "acremoniosis" is a rarely used medical term that is pronounced /ˌæk.rɛ.mə.niˈoʊ.sɪs/ (ak-ruh-muh-nee-OH-sis) in IPA phonetic transcription. It refers to a condition characterized by the growth of a fungus called Acremonium in the body. The spelling of this word can be explained by breaking it down into three parts: "acremo" meaning extremity, "-nio-" referring to the genus Acremonium, and "-sis" indicating a medical condition. Despite its infrequent usage, knowing how to spell and pronounce specialized medical terms like acremoniosis is important for healthcare professionals.
A condition marked by fever and the occurrence of gummalike swellings, caused by a fungus Acremonium potronii.
