A complementary tool for management of disseminated Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum infections in AIDS patients [PDF]

International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2014
In South America, disseminated histoplasmosis due to Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum (H. capsulatum), is a severe and frequent opportunistic infection in AIDS patients. In areas outside the USA where specific-Histoplasma antigen detection is not available, the diagnosis is difficult. With the galactomannan antigen (GM) detection, a test commonly

Selection and optimization of PCR-based methods for the detection of Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum

Revista Iberoamericana de Micología, 2012
Current methods for the laboratory diagnosis of histoplasmosis are problematic in terms of their sensitivity, specificity and runtime.Thus, in this study, we sought to select and optimize methods for the detection of Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).Three DNA extraction methods and three PCR methods were ...

Evaluation of the genetic diversity of Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum isolates from north-eastern Brazil

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2012
Since the beginning of the HIV epidemic, there has been a significant increase in the number of histoplasmosis cases in Ceará, a state in north-east Brazil. The lack of epidemiological data on the genotypes circulating in the north-east region shows the importance of more detailed studies on the molecular epidemiology of Histoplasma capsulatum var ...

Ciprofloxacin shows synergism with classical antifungals against Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum and Coccidioides posadasii [PDF]

Mycoses, 2012
SummaryThis study evaluated the in vitro interaction between ciprofloxacin (CIP) and classical antifungals against Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum in mycelial (n = 16) and yeast‐like forms (n = 9) and Coccidioides posadasii in mycelial form (n = 16). This research was conducted through broth microdilution and macrodilution, according to Clinical
