Infection control in the brain and the eye

Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 104, Issue 5, Page e478-e490, August 2026.
Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...

Pulmonary Cryptococcosis in Apparently Immunocompetent Hosts: Host Susceptibility, Occult Immunodeficiency and Clinical Implications

Mycoses, Volume 69, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Pulmonary cryptococcosis (PC) in apparently immunocompetent hosts—now the majority of non‐HIV cases in Asia—cannot be explained by the traditional opportunistic infection paradigm. Three epidemiological observations point toward occult immune susceptibility: familial clustering documented in multiple case reports and small family studies ...

Central Nervous System Infections in Pediatric Solid Organ Transplant Recipients

Pediatric Transplantation, Volume 30, Issue 8, August 2026.
CNS infections in SOT recipients are rare and presentation can be subtle. Therefore, a low threshold for evaluation is warranted to minimize the associated mortality. ABSTRACT Background Solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients face an increased risk of central nervous system (CNS) infections due to immunosuppression.

Antifungal Activity and Possible Mechanism of Action of the Zn (II) Complex With a Schiff Base Against Fluconazole‐Resistant Strains of Candida spp. and Cryptococcus neoformans

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 7, July 2026.
Addressing the global challenge of antifungal resistance, this work presents a vanillin‐derived Schiff base complexed with zinc (II) (SBZ) with potent activity against fluconazole‐resistant Candida spp. and Cryptococcus neoformans. By activating an apoptotic pathway, ranging from mitochondrial depolarization and oxidative stress to fungal DNA ...
