ABSTRACT Background Invasive fungal infections (IFI) post‐orthotopic heart transplant (OHT) have not been well studied due to limited information in large databases. The goal of the study is to describe the incidence and risk factors for IFI. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed risk factors associated with IFI among OHT recipients ...

The Repurposing of Anti-Psychotic Drugs, Quetiapine and Olanzapine, as Anti-Cryptococcus Drugs
The management of cryptococcal infections is often difficult. This can, in part, be attributed to the fungistatic nature of fluconazole, which may result in cells disseminating to give rise to pathogen-emergent psychosis following brain inflammation ...

Cranial ultrasound in neonatal brain infections
Abstract Infection of the neonatal central nervous system (CNS) can cause irreversible brain damage. Cranial ultrasound is an important neuroimaging modality in the neonatal period for detecting brain injury. Several types of organism can cause neonatal CNS infection.

Climate Change, Natural Disasters, and Cutaneous Fungal Infections
ABSTRACT Fungal infections are an important source of morbidity and mortality that can manifest as superficial or invasive diseases. Diagnostic techniques for human fungal pathogens remain problematic, and multi‐drug resistance is emerging. This review addresses the potential emergence of new fungal pathogens in changing environments and reported ...

Nutritional Requirements and Their Importance for Virulence of Pathogenic Cryptococcus Species [PDF]
Cryptococcus sp. are basidiomycete yeasts which can be found widely, free-living in the environment. Interactions with natural predators, such as amoebae in the soil, are thought to have promoted the development of adaptations enabling the organism to ...
