Current situation of endemic mycosis in the Americas and the Caribbean: Proceedings of the first international meeting on endemic mycoses of the Americas (IMEMA)

Mycoses, Volume 65, Issue 12, Page 1179-1187, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Background The Americas are home to biologically and clinically diverse endemic fungi, including Blastomyces, Coccidioides, Emergomyces, Histoplasma, Paracoccidioides and Sporothrix. In endemic areas with high risk of infection, these fungal pathogens represent an important public health problem.

Fungal exposome, human health, and unmet needs: A 2022 update with special focus on allergy

Allergy, Volume 77, Issue 11, Page 3199-3216, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Humans inhale, ingest, and touch thousands of fungi each day. The ubiquity and diversity of the fungal kingdom, reflected by its complex taxonomy, are in sharp contrast with our scarce knowledge about its distribution, pathogenic effects, and effective interventions at the environmental and individual levels.

Assessing global fungal threats to humans

mLife, Volume 1, Issue 3, Page 223-240, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Fungi are an integral part of the earth's biosphere. They are broadly distributed in all continents and ecosystems and play a diversity of roles. Here, I review our current understanding of fungal threats to humans and describe the major factors that contribute to various threats.

Diagnosis and treatment of a patient with pulmonary infection caused by Emergomyces Orientalis: a case report. [PDF]

Future Microbiol
Emergomycosis is a dimorphic fungal disease that is typically disseminated and fatal among immunocompromised individuals. In the case report, we presented a patient with intermittent fever, night sweats, coughing and phlegm. Chest computed tomography revealed multiple soft-tissue nodules in both lungs. Routine pathological and microbiological tests did

Systemic Mycoses by Novel Onygenalean Fungal Pathogens Emergomyces spp and Blastomyces percursus in Rwanda. [PDF]

Open Forum Infect Dis
Abstract We report 2 cases of infection by fungi unprecedented in Rwanda. One patient with emergomycosis presented with disseminated disease and prominent cutaneous involvement and one patient with African blastomycosis had cutaneous and osseous disease. These cases illustrate the clinicopathologic and molecular traits of novel dimorphic

When Emerging Fungal Infections Mimic Tuberculosis: First Reported Case of Invasive <i>Emergomyces europaeus</i> Infection in a Man With Immunocompromise Living in France. [PDF]

Open Forum Infect Dis
Abstract Emergomycosis is an emerging thermally dimorphic fungal infection primarily observed in individuals with HIV and is associated with cutaneous, pulmonary, or disseminated manifestations. We report the first case of invasive infection by Emergomyces europaeus involving both the lungs and bone marrow in a person with ...

Antimicrobial Importance of Medicinal Plants in Nigeria

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Despite the success of antibiotic discovery, infectious diseases remain the second leading source of death worldwide, while the resistance to antibiotics is among the significant problems in the twenty‐first century. Medicinal plants are very rich in phytochemicals which can be structurally optimized and processed into new drugs.
