Immunomodulation of invasive fungal infections
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2003Genetic and acquired (disease- or therapy- related) host immune factors increase the risk for IFIs. In addition to antifungal drug therapy, modulation of host defenses by the use of HGFs and IFN-gamma has been supported by extensive in vitro and in vivo preclinical data.

Therapy of invasive fungal infections
The Netherlands Journal of Medicine, 1999During the past decades, the incidence and severity of invasive fungal infections has been increasing. These events have lead to the development of new antifungal agents, and amphotericin B no longer is the standard therapy for a variety of invasive mycoses. Fluconazole has become the drug of choice for treatment of C.

Glucocorticoids and invasive fungal infections
The Lancet, 2003Since the 1990s, opportunistic fungal infections have emerged as a substantial cause of morbidity and mortality in profoundly immunocompromised patients. Hypercortisolaemic patients, both those with endogenous Cushing's syndrome and, much more frequently, those receiving exogenous glucocorticoid therapy, are especially at risk of such infections.

Clinical Experience in Invasive Fungal Infections
Clinical Drug Investigation, 2013Lung infections caused by invasive filamentous fungi are very rare conditions in AIDS, but must be considered in patients with profound immune suppression especially in the presence of additional risk factors, such as hematologic malignancies, corticosteroid therapy, neutropenia, and chemotherapy. The authors report a case of dual lung infection caused

• Serologic tests are useful in providing a presumptive diagnosis of invasive fungal infection, allowing early institution of specific therapy. The judicious use of these serologic tests for circulating antibodies or antigens also may aid in analyzing response to treatment and in assessing prognosis.

Upon completion of the chapter, the reader will be able to: 1. Differentiate epidemiologic differences and host risk factors for acquisition of primary and opportunistic invasive fungal diseases. 2. Recommend appropriate empiric or targeted antifungal therapy for the treatment of invasive fungal disease. 3.

Overview of Invasive Fungal Infections
2012The incidence of invasive fungal infections (IFIs) has seen a marked increase in the last two decades. This is especially evident among transplant recipients, patients suffering from AIDS, in addition to those in receipt of immunosuppressive therapy.

Invasive fungal infections in pediatric oncology
Pediatric Blood & Cancer, 2011AbstractBackgroundData on the epidemiology and outcome of invasive fungal infections in children with cancer are limited. The aim of the study was to delineate the epidemiologic, clinical features, risk factors, and outcome of invasive fungal infections in this population.ProcedureThe medical records of all children with malignancies diagnosed with an ...

Tailored Treatment of Invasive Fungal Infections
Future Microbiology, 2008The need to tailor antifungal treatment to local epidemiology and individual patient risk was a key theme of the 3rd Trends in Medical Mycology (TIMM-3) congress in Turin, Italy, 28–31 October 2007. Organized jointly by the European Confederation of Medical Mycology (ECMM) and the Infectious Diseases Group of the European Organisation for Research and ...
