Dynamic ploidy changes drive fluconazole resistance in human cryptococcal meningitis. [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND: Cryptococcal meningitis (CM) causes an estimated 180,000 deaths annually, predominantly in sub-Saharan Africa, where most patients receive fluconazole (FLC) monotherapy. While relapse after FLC monotherapy with resistant strains is frequently

Clonal Population of Flucytosine-Resistant Candida tropicalis from Blood Cultures, Paris, France

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
Candida tropicalis is a diploid ascomycetes yeast responsible for 4%–24% of candidemia. Resistance to flucytosine is rarely described for this species but was observed for 45 (35%) of 130 C.

Short-Course Rather Than Low-Dose Amphotericin B May Exert Potential Influence on Mortality in Cryptococcal Meningitis Patients Treated With Amphotericin B Plus Flucytosine Alone or in Combination With Fluconazole

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
BackgroundThe influence of Amphotericin B (AmB) dose and the addition of fluconazole (Flu) on the AmB + 5-flucytosine (5FC) regimen for cryptococcal meningitis (CM) treatment remain debatable.MethodsA retrospective study was conducted to compare 44 CM ...

Fatal Outcome due to Disseminated Cryptococcosis in a Patient With HIVrequiring Veno‐Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Case Report

Acute Medicine &Surgery, Volume 13, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This report details a fatal case of fulminant disseminated cryptococcosis in a young male with undiagnosed HIV. He rapidly developed multi‐organ failure, refractory shock, and cardiac arrest. Autopsy revealed extensive myocardial cryptococcal infiltration and microemboli, suggesting a critical role in the acute refractory shock that led to his death ...
