Infrared Spectroscopy as a Promising Tool for Diagnosing and Typing Human Pathogenic Fungi

Mycoses, Volume 69, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Fungal infections are increasingly recognised as a global health challenge, responsible for millions of cases annually and substantial mortality, especially in immunocompromised individuals. Yet, the diagnosis of these infections remains notoriously difficult, often delayed by slow culture‐based methods or hindered by the high cost and ...

Autochthonous and DormantCryptococcus gattiiInfections in Europe [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
Until recently, Cryptococcus gattii infections occurred mainly in tropical and subtropical climate zones. However, during the past decade, C. gattii infections in humans and animals in Europe have increased. To determine whether the infections in Europe were acquired from an autochthonous source or associated with travel, we used multilocus sequence ...

Real‐World Evaluation of the BioFire FilmArray ME Panel: Diagnostic Accuracy and Clinical Utility

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Central nervous system (CNS) infections carry high morbidity and mortality, yet traditional diagnostics often fail to identify the causative agent promptly. Rapid multiplex panels offer broader and faster pathogen detection, making it important to understand their real‐world clinical value.

Lack of Cryptococcus gattii from Eucalyptus in Ahvaz

Current Medical Mycology, 2015
The basidiomycetous yeast genus Cryptococcus contains two medically important pathogens, Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii [1-3]. C. neoformans is one of the common pathogens in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), whereas the most cases of ...

Fungal Infections in Pediatric Patients With Hematologic Malignancies and Stem Cell Transplantation: Impact on the Upper and Lower Respiratory Systems

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children with hematological malignancies as well as those undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Extreme immunological dysregulation secondary to severe neutropenia, T‐cell lymphopenia, graft‐versus‐host disease (GVHD), intensive chemotherapy ...

Pulmonary Cryptococcosis Infection in Non‐HIV Patients in a Tertiary Care Center in Taiwan

Pulmonary Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Pulmonary cryptococcosis is an important opportunistic fungal infection in immunocompromised individuals, including those with an infection of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) but it can be increasingly seen in non‐HIV patients. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 58 non‐HIV‐infected patients with International ...

Cryptococcus gattii genotype VGIIb infection in Japan

Medical Mycology Journal, 2014
This report describes a case of Cryptococcus gattii VGIIb infection of the pulmonary and central nervous systems in an immunocompetent Japanese man with a travel history, and it hypothesizes the place where he was infected with C. gattii using the genotype information.

Single‐Cell Dissection of the Biological Function and Molecular Features Underlying the Micropeptide LSMEM1 in Kidney

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 48, December 29, 2025.
LSMEM1, an evolutionarily conserved micropeptide with extreme hydrophobicity (aliphatic index═113) and dynamic amphiphilicity (GRAVY═0.017), features a strong α‐helical transmembrane anchor (residues 64‐86). Single‐cell analysis reveals its critical role in renal lipid homeostasis.

Reverse line blot hybridization assay for identification of medically important fungi from culture and clinical specimens [PDF]

, 2007
We evaluated a combined panfungal PCR-reverse line blot (RLB) hybridization assay based on internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) and ITS2 region polymorphisms to identify 159 Candida, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Aspergillus isolates (22 species).
