A Rare Case of Blastomycosis in a Psoriasis Patient Treated With Ustekinumab (Stelara). [PDF]
Clin Case RepABSTRACT Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition mediated by T‐helper 1 (Th1) and T‐helper 17 (Th17) cytokines, including interleukin (IL)‐12, IL‐23, IL‐17, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF‐α). Ustekinumab, a human monoclonal antibody against the p40 subunit of IL‐12/23, has revolutionized treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis but ...

Molecular Epidemiology of Blastomyces dermatitidis [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2000 The inhalation of conidia of Blastomyces dermatitidis, a fungus found in soil, causes disease in humans and animals. We studied the genetic diversity of this pathogen by extracting DNA yeasts and analyzing them with a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based typing system we developed, which used restriction fragment analysis of amplicons from the regions

Siblings in the ICU: Keeping Endemic Mycoses on the Differential. [PDF]
Case Rep PediatrBlastomycosis is a rare fungal infection caused by the inhalation of Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Infection with this fungus can impact nearly every organ system, though pulmonary disease is the most common. Presentations of pulmonary blastomycosis are highly variable, ranging from clinically asymptomatic to severe respiratory failure requiring ...

Antimicrobial Peptide Synergies for Fighting Infectious Diseases
Advanced Science, Volume 10, Issue 26, September 15, 2023., 2023 Combination of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) with other antimicrobial agents provides a new arsenal of drugs with synergistic action. The mechanism of action by AMPs is an advantage over antibiotics as it hinders the development of drug resistance. The synergistic effect of AMPs allows the repurposing of conventional antimicrobials, enhancing their ...
