Disseminated paracoccidioidomycosis diagnosis based on oral lesions

Contemporary Clinical Dentistry, 2014
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a deep mycosis with primary lung manifestations that may present cutaneous and oral lesions. Oral lesions mimic other infectious diseases or even squamous cell carcinoma, clinically and microscopically.

Novel Kidney Biomarkers and Antibiotics‐Induced Acute Kidney Injury: A Practical Assessment of Current and Future Applications

Clinical and Translational Science, Volume 18, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Several antibiotics have nephrotoxic potential and an undeniable role in the development of acute kidney injury (AKI). The current AKI definition and operational criteria are dependent on functional biomarkers, serum creatinine and urine output, to identify and quantify kidney dysfunction and injury.

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 ...

Immune Phenotypes in Patients With Invasive Mould Infection Support the Use of PD‐1 Inhibition as Potential Treatment Option

Mycoses, Volume 68, Issue 3, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Invasive mould infections (IMI) cause substantial morbidity and mortality in populations at risk. Novel treatment approaches are urgently needed. Targeting immune checkpoints may reverse hyporesponsiveness of the innate and adaptive immune systems.

IL‐6 Degradation by Secreted Proteases From Paracoccidioides restrepiensis

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Paracoccidioidomycosis is a systemic fungal disease caused by Paracoccidioides spp., predominantly affecting populations in Latin America, with Brazil reporting the highest number of cases. The infection is associated with severe pulmonary and systemic manifestations. Previous studies have highlighted the role of fungal proteases in adhesion, invasion,

Exome Sequencing of a Blastomycosis Case–Control Cohort From Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario, Canada

Mycoses, Volume 67, Issue 9, September 2024.
ABSTRACT Background Blastomycosis is a pulmonary disease caused by Blastomyces spp., a group of pathogenic dimorphic fungi endemic to a number of geographic regions, specifically Manitoba and northwestern Ontario, Canada. Immunosuppression is a major risk factor affecting disease susceptibility, yet host immunity is not well understood.

Profile of total IgG, IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4 levels in sera of patients with paracoccidioidomycosis: treatment follow-up using Mexo and rPb27 as antigens in an ELISA

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2012
The levels of total of IgG, IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4 were evaluated in 54 patients with chronic paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) before, during and after treatment using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with Mexo and recombinant Pb27 (rPb27) as the ...

From Mendel to mycoses: Immuno‐genomic warfare at the human–fungus interface

Immunological Reviews, Volume 322, Issue 1, Page 28-52, March 2024.
Summary Fungi are opportunists: They particularly require a defect of immunity to cause severe or disseminated disease. While often secondary to an apparent iatrogenic cause, fungal diseases do occur in the absence of one, albeit infrequently. These rare cases may be due to an underlying genetic immunodeficiency that can present variably in age of ...
