ABSTRACT This case report highlights the need to consider both infection and malignancy in the differential of a chylothorax, particularly in an immunosuppressed patient. The case demonstrates the challenges in treating a chylothorax, both in terms of appropriate drainage and the necessity to maintain a low‐fat diet.

Discrete cutaneous lesions in a critically ill patient treated only for AIDS and miliary tuberculosis: a case report of disseminated histoplasmosis [PDF]
Histoplasmosis is a systemic mycosis caused by the dimorphic fungus Histoplasma capsulatum, with disseminated histoplasmosis (HD) being one of its clinical forms. As a consequence of the HIV-AIDS pandemic, HD has become prevalent not only in regions that

Detection of (1,3)-β-d-Glucan in Cerebrospinal Fluid in Histoplasma Meningitis [PDF]
The diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS) histoplasmosis is often difficult. Although cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (1,3)-β-d-glucan (BDG) is available as a biological marker for the diagnosis of fungal meningitis, there are limited data on its use for ...

Immunoglobulin G4‐Related Inflammatory Pseudotumor With Cystic Features Mimicking Renal Cancer
ABSTRACT Introduction Immunoglobulin G4‐related disease is a systemic fibroinflammatory disorder that affects the kidney, presenting as an immunoglobulin G4‐related inflammatory pseudotumor. These renal inflammatory pseudotumors are usually solid, and cystic presentations have not been previously described. Case Presentation We report a 77‐year‐old man

Histoplasma Capsulatum: Mechanisms for Pathogenesis [PDF]
Histoplasmosis, caused by the dimorphic environmental fungus Histoplasma capsulatum, is a major mycosis on the global stage. Acquisition of the fungus by mammalian hosts can be clinically silent or it can lead to life-threatening systemic disease, which can occur in immunologically intact or deficient hosts, albeit severe disease is more likely in the ...

Fungal Spore Seasons Advanced Across the US Over Two Decades of Climate Change
Abstract Phenological shifts due to climate change have been extensively studied in plants and animals. Yet, the responses of fungal spores—organisms important to ecosystems and major airborne allergens—remain understudied. This knowledge gap limits our understanding of their ecological and public health implications.

Polymyositis associated with dyspnoea and interstitial lung disease in a dog (Canis familiaris)
Abstract A 5‐year‐old, female, spayed coonhound was evaluated for progressive dyspnoea, weakness and weight loss. The patient had increased inspiratory and expiratory respiratory effort and generalised skeletal muscle atrophy. Thoracic radiographs and computed tomography revealed interstitial lung disease. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed multifocal
