Bloodstream yeast infections: a 15-month survey [PDF]
A 15-month survey of 412 bloodstream yeast isolates from 54 Belgian hospitals was undertaken. Candida albicans was the most common species (47.3%) followed by C. glabrata (25.7%), C. parapsilosis (8.0%), C. tropicalis (6.8%) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (

Fungemia in a university hospital: an epidemiological approach
INTRODUCTION: Fungemia corresponds to the isolation of fungi in the bloodstream and occurs mostly in immunosuppressed patients. The early diagnosis and treatment of these infections are relevant given the serious threat to the affected patients and ...

Sporothrix schenckii fungemia without disseminated sporotrichosis [PDF]
Fungemia is a rare complication of Sporothrix schenckii infection and has always been associated with disseminated sporotrichosis. We describe an immunocompetent patient with localized lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis from whose blood the fungus was isolated. A lysis-centrifugation blood culture system may have improved our ability to detect low-level S.

Multiplex PCR System for Rapid Detection of Pathogens in Patients with Presumed Sepsis – A Systemic Review and Meta-Analysis [PDF]
Background: Blood culture is viewed as the golden standard for the diagnosis of sepsis but suffers from low sensitivity and long turnaround time. LightCycler SeptiFast (LC-SF) is a real-time multiplex polymerase chain reaction test able to detect 25 ...

This graphical abstract illustrates how altered gut microbiota lead to autoimmunity. It shows that gut dysbiosis causes a “leaky gut” and activates autoreactive intestinal immune cells, which then migrate to other organs, ultimately triggering systemic autoimmune responses.

Epidemiology of hematogenous infections due to Candida spp [PDF]
Candida spp is associated to almost 80% of all nosocomial fungal infections and is considered a major cause of blood stream infections. Candida spp is the fourth most common cause of blood stream infections in the United States, where this agent is ...

ABSTRACT Background Malassezia spp. are part of the microbiota of many animals, including humans. However, under certain conditions, they can become pathogenic. Diseases associated with Malassezia include pityriasis versicolor (PV), seborrheic dermatitis (SD), Malassezia folliculitis, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and fungemia.

Two cases of fungal keratitis caused by Metarhizium anisopliae [PDF]
We present two cases of keratitis due to Metarhizium anisopliae in geographically separated areas of the United States. The isolates were microscopically similar but morphologically different and were identified by ribosomal DNA sequencing. Both isolates
