Metabolomics and Machine Learning Approaches Combined in Pursuit for More Accurate Paracoccidioidomycosis Diagnoses

mSystems, 2020
Brazil and many other Latin American countries are areas of endemicity for different neglected diseases, and the fungal infection paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is one of them. Among the clinical manifestations, pneumopathy associated with skin and mucosal

Paracoccidioidomycosis in Immunocompromised Patients: A Literature Review

Journal of Fungi, 2018
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is an endemic mycosis found in Latin America that causes systemic disease mostly in immunocompetent hosts. A small percentage of PCM occurs in immunocompromised patients where low clinical suspicion of the infection, late ...

Extracellular Vesicles From Fungal Infection in Humans: A Key Player in Immunological Responses. [PDF]

J Extracell Biol
ABSTRACT Fungal infections cause approximately 1.6 million deaths annually. Diagnosing and treating fungal infections is difficult due to limited access to diagnostic tests and rising antifungal resistance. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) facilitate interactions between fungal cells and hosts, significantly influencing the pathogen‐host relationship ...

Paracoccidioidomycosis: What We Know and What Is New in Epidemiology, Diagnosis, and Treatment

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic mycosis endemic to Latin America caused by thermodimorphic fungi of the genus Paracoccidioides. In the last two decades, enhanced understanding of the phylogenetic species concept and molecular variations has ...

Paracoccidioidomycosis Diagnosed in Europe—A Systematic Literature Review

Journal of Fungi, 2021
Paracoccidioidomycosis is a systemic mycosis that is endemic in geographical regions of Central and South America. Cases that occur in nonendemic regions of the world are imported through migration and travel. Due to the limited number of cases in Europe,
