Elevated Vacuolar Uptake of Fluorescently Labeled Antifungal Drug Caspofungin Predicts Echinocandin Resistance in Pathogenic Yeast

ACS Central Science, 2020
Echinocandins are the newest class of antifungal drugs in clinical use. These agents inhibit β-glucan synthase, which catalyzes the synthesis of β-glucan, an essential component of the fungal cell wall, and have a high clinical efficacy and low toxicity.

Long‐term outcome after allogeneic stem cell transplantation for GATA2 deficiency: An analysis of 67 adults and children from France and Belgium

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
The overall survival of patients receiving an allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) for GATA2 deficiency was significantly better if they were transplanted recently, with a bone marrow or cord blood graft and if the transplant was performed before the onset of excess blast. Excess blast before HSCT was the only factor associated with an

Case Report: Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation to Treat Severe Acquired Aplastic Anemia in a Pediatric Kidney Transplant Recipient

Pediatric Transplantation, Volume 29, Issue 5, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in solid organ transplant recipients has been reported in adults. However, data on children are scarce. We report a case of an allogeneic HSCT in a 14‐year‐old girl to treat idiopathic very severe aplastic anemia (SAA). Case Presentation The girl developed end‐stage renal disease at the

Population Pharmacokinetics of Caspofungin among Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Patients during the Postoperative Period of Lung Transplantation

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2020
Little is known about the influence of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of caspofungin. The aim of this study was to describe population PK of caspofungin in patients with and without ECMO during the postoperative ...

Successful caspofungin treatment of persistent candidemia in extreme prematurity at 23 and 24 weeks' gestation

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2014
Systemic fungal infection continues to be a major cause of mortality in extremely low-birth-weight premature infants. Amphotericin B has been recommended as the primary treatment; however, its use is limited due to drug-induced nephrotoxicity and ...

Clinical Characteristics and Predictive Value of the Lactate Dehydrogenase‐to‐Lymphocyte Ratio in Infants With Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia: A Retrospective Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) is a life‐threatening fungal infection in immunocompromised children. The aims of this study were to observe the clinical characteristics and assess the predictive value of the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)‐to‐total lymphocyte count ratio (LTLR) for early identification of PCP in infants

Evaluation of aminocandin and caspofungin against Candida glabrata including isolates with reduced caspofungin susceptibility [PDF]

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2008
Aminocandin is an investigational echinocandin with excellent activity against Candida species, including Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis. However, few data are available for this agent versus Candida glabrata. We compared the in vitro potency and in vivo efficacy of aminocandin and caspofungin against clinical isolates of C. glabrata including

Caspofungin combined with TMP/SMZ as a first‐line therapy for moderate‐to‐severe PCP in patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection

HIV Medicine, 2020
The effectiveness of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMZ) for pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) is limited with adverse events. Caspofungin, by inhibiting the cyst form of Pneumocystis jirovecii, may be an alternative therapy for PCP.

Host carbon sources modulate cell wall architecture, drug resistance and virulence in a fungal pathogen [PDF]

, 2012
The survival of all microbes depends upon their ability to respond to environmental challenges. To establish infection, pathogens such as Candida albicans must mount effective stress responses to counter host defences while adapting to dynamic changes in
