Epidemiology and Prognosis of Invasive Fungal Disease in Chinese Lung Transplant Recipients [PDF]

Frontiers in Medicine, 2021
This study explored the epidemiology, risk factors, and prognosis of invasive fungal disease (IFD) in Chinese lung transplant recipients (LTRs). This retrospective cohort study included patients who received lung transplants at four hospitals in South China between January 2015 and June 2019.

Fungal lung disease

Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2021
Fungal lung disease in the paediatric population occurs with distinct features in the immunocompetent, in immunocompromised patients and in people with cystic fibrosis. Pulmonary mycoses are the least prevalent in immunocompetent children, with the most common diseases being the endemic mycoses and Aspergillomas.

Detection of hidden fungal infection in different respiratory diseases

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2021
Background Fungal infections of the respiratory system are down estimated, and the correct burden is unknown [1]. Invasive fungal infections are associated with high mortality rates of >50% [2].

Phylogenetic and ecological drivers of the avian lung mycobiome and its potentially pathogenic component. [PDF]

Commun Biol
Vertebrate lungs contain diverse microbial communities, but little is known about the drivers of community composition or consequences for health. Microbiome assembly by processes such as dispersal, coevolution, and host-switching can be probed with ...

Upper respiratory tract mycobiome alterations in different kinds of pulmonary disease

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionThe human respiratory tract is considered to be a polymicrobial niche, and an imbalance in the microorganism composition is normally associated with several respiratory diseases.

Pneumocystis jirovecii is a potential pivotal ecological driver contributing to shifts in microbial equilibrium during the early-life lower airway microbiome assembly. [PDF]

Commun Biol
Early life gut microbiota is being increasingly recognized as a major contributor to short and/or long-term human health and diseases. However, little is known about these early-life events in the human microbiome of the lower respiratory tract.
