Infrared Spectroscopy as a Promising Tool for Diagnosing and Typing Human Pathogenic Fungi

Mycoses, Volume 69, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Fungal infections are increasingly recognised as a global health challenge, responsible for millions of cases annually and substantial mortality, especially in immunocompromised individuals. Yet, the diagnosis of these infections remains notoriously difficult, often delayed by slow culture‐based methods or hindered by the high cost and ...

Asthma in Patients With Confirmed Pulmonary Sarcoidosis

Canadian Respiratory Journal, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Pulmonary sarcoidosis and asthma can present identical symptoms, making clinical evaluation difficult if the two diseases overlap. Diagnostic challenges often lead to either overdiagnosis of asthma in patients with confirmed sarcoidosis or withholding appropriate asthma treatment.

Efficacy of Liposomal Amphotericin B in Treating Pulmonary Aspergillus flavus Infection in Nonneutropenic Adults: Cases Report and Literature Review

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Liposomal amphotericin B (L‐AmB), as a modified formulation of traditional amphotericin B, have better targeting and lower toxicity. However, clinicians have limited experience with the use of L‐AmB for the treatment of Aspergillus flavus (A. flavus) at present.

Genetic susceptibility to aspergillosis in allogeneic stem-cell transplantation [PDF]

, 2011
Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a major threat to positive outcomes for allogeneic stem-cell transplantation (allo-SCT) patients. Despite presenting similar degrees of immunosuppression, not all individuals at-risk ultimately develop infection. Therefore,

Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis presenting as thoracic mass causing obstruction of the superior and inferior vena cava in an immunocompetent patient: a diagnostic dilemma

Annals of Saudi Medicine, 2015
Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is a disease of immunocompromised patients, but its prevalence is increasing in immunocompetent persons. Patients usually present with non-specific symptoms, sometimes consistent with bronchopneumonia.
