Crossover between the control of fungal pathogens in medicine and the wider environment, and the threat of antifungal resistance

Plant Pathology, Volume 71, Issue 1, Page 131-149, January 2022., 2022
The origin and emergence of resistance to antifungal compounds are evaluated and potential “hot spots” identified for major life‐theatening fungal human pathogens in medical and environmental settings. Abstract Fungal propagules existing in the natural environment can easily be transmitted to the human body, mostly by inhalation of contaminated air or ...

Pulmonary Histoplasmosis in a Referral Hospital in Mexico City

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Pulmonary histoplasmosis is caused by inhaling Histoplasma capsulatum. Less than 1% develops the disease. Risk factors in immunocompetent individuals are environmental exposures in endemic areas. The objective of this study is to determine the frequency, clinical, and microbiological characteristics in immunocompetent patients.

Pulmonary paracoccidioidomycosis in AhR deficient hosts is severe and associated with defective Treg and Th22 responses

Scientific Reports, 2020
AhR is a ligand-activated transcription factor that plays an important role in the innate and adaptive immune responses. In infection models, it has been associated with host responses that promote or inhibit disease progression.

Biliary Paracoccidioidomycosis: An Unusual Infection Simulating Malignant Neoplasm

Annals of Hepatology, 2019
Paracoccidioidomycosis is a systemic granulomatous disease caused by the dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and is restricted to Latin America. It normally affects lungs, skin and lymph nodes. Abdominal organs are usually not involved.

Accounting for misclassified and unknown cause of death data in vital registration systems for estimating trends in HIV mortality

Journal of the International AIDS Society, Volume 24, Issue S5, September 2021., 2021
Abstract Introduction Misclassification of HIV deaths can substantially diminish the usefulness of cause of death data for decision‐making. In this study, we describe the methods developed by the Global Burden of Disease Study to account for the misclassified cause of death data from vital registration systems for estimating HIV mortality in 132 ...

Immunoproteomic Analysis Reveals Novel Candidate Antigens for the Diagnosis of Paracoccidioidomycosis Due to Paracoccidioides lutzii

Journal of Fungi, 2020
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a life-threatening systemic infection caused by the fungal pathogen Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and related species. Whole-genome sequencing and stage-specific proteomic analysis of Paracoccidioides offer the opportunity

Wegener's granulomatosis and differential diagnosis of mucosal leishmaniasis

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2021., 2021
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis with nasal septal perforation can be confused with infectious diseases such as mucosal leishmaniasis, so these cases warrant an in‐depth study in order to provide the correct treatment. Among the main characteristics to consider to define a Wegener's granulomatosis as opposed to an infectious disease are vasculitis ...
