Direct Tissue PCR and Genotyping for Species Identification in a Case of Laryngeal Blastomycosis
Ear, Nose & Throat Journal, 2023 Otolaryngologic manifestations of infection with Blastomyces species are extremely rare and restricted geographically to recognized endemic regions. Here, we describe a case of laryngeal blastomycosis that presented as slowly progressive dysphonia. While

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Histoplasma capsulatum is the etiological agent of histoplasmosis, which can infect birds and different mammal species, including humans. In Brazil, the disease is not notifiable, and little is known about its infection in domestic and wild mammals. This study aimed to perform the molecular detection of H.

Assessing global fungal threats to humans
mLife, Volume 1, Issue 3, Page 223-240, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Fungi are an integral part of the earth's biosphere. They are broadly distributed in all continents and ecosystems and play a diversity of roles. Here, I review our current understanding of fungal threats to humans and describe the major factors that contribute to various threats.

Enigmatic Rapidly Enlarging Nasal Mass That Is Not Cancer
Case Reports in Dermatological Medicine, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 Cutaneous blastomycosis is not rare, but progressively enlarging nasal mass as the only presentation with nondiagnostic biopsy results, presence of pulmonary fibrosis, nodules and lymphadenopathy, and urinary sediments, as well as ANA and p‐ANCA positivity, can make things more cryptic than expected.

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017 The thermally dimorphic fungi are a unique group of fungi within the Ascomycota phylum that respond to shifts in temperature by converting between hyphae (22–25°C) and yeast (37°C). This morphologic switch, known as the phase transition, defines the biology and lifestyle of these fungi.
