Social, environmental and microbiologic aspects of endemic mycoses in Brazil [PDF]

New Microbes and New Infections, 2019
Many factors that lead to host immunosuppression are clearly known to predispose the host to fungal diseases, significantly influencing the occurrence of mycoses. However, little or nothing has been discussed regarding social or economic factors that can

Histoplasma Urinary Antigen for the Diagnosis Histoplasmosis in Non-HIV Individuals. [PDF]

Mycoses
ABSTRACT Background Histoplasmosis is an endemic mycosis in the Americas. While urinary Histoplasma antigen enzyme immunoassay testing (HAET) has been validated mainly in HIV‐infected patients with disseminated disease, its performance in HIV‐negative populations with heterogeneous clinical presentations is unclear.

Endemic mycoses: a treatment update [PDF]

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 1999
Endemic mycoses remain a major public health problem in several countries and they are becoming increasingly frequent with the spread of HIV infection. Amphotericin B remains the drug of choice during the acute stage of life-threatening endemic mycoses occurring in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised hosts.

Diagnosis of Breakthrough Fungal Infections in the Clinical Mycology Laboratory: An ECMM Consensus Statement

Journal of Fungi, 2020
Breakthrough invasive fungal infections (bIFI) cause significant morbidity and mortality. Their diagnosis can be challenging due to reduced sensitivity to conventional culture techniques, serologic tests, and PCR-based assays in patients undergoing ...
