ABSTRACT The case discussed involves a 41‐year‐old Italian man who was a candidate for chimeric antigen receptor T‐cell therapy (CAR‐T) for mediastinal diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma. His CAR‐T treatment was postponed several times due to prolonged relapsing COVID‐19 and new onset of pulmonary Mycobacterium tuberculosis diseases.

Echinocandins for candidemia: a rational choice
Among antifungal drugs, echinocandins (micafungin, caspofungin and anidulafungin) represent a rational choice for the first-line therapy of candidemia/invasive candidiasis in critically ill patients. Among other properties characterizing echinocandins, it’s important to emphasize the broad spectrum of activity, the fungicidal activity against the ...

Role of FKS Gene in the Susceptibility of Pathogenic Fungi to Echinocandins.
Echinocandins are antifungal agents that specifically inhibit the biosynthesis of 1,3-β-D-glucan, a major structural component of fungal cell walls.

Candida infections, causes, targets and resistance mechanisms. Traditional and alternative antifungal agents [PDF]
The genus Candida includes about 200 different species, but only a few species are human opportunistic pathogens and cause infections when the host becomes debilitated or immunocompromised. Candida infections can be superficial or invasive.

ABSTRACT Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) is a potential life‐threatening opportunistic infection that predominantly affects immunocompromised individuals, such as those with human immunodeficiency virus or organ transplant recipients. The treatment of PJP, particularly severe cases, remains challenging, as standardized treatment therapies often ...
