Paracoccidioidomycosis in Immunocompromised Patients: A Literature Review
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 ...

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

Management of Vocal Fold Leukoplakia
ABSTRACT Vocal fold leukoplakia (VFL) is a descriptive term for a white plaque in the true vocal folds (TVF). It is estimated at 10.2 cases per 100,000 males and 2.1 per 100,000 females. The most critical aspect of managing a VLF is achieving an accurate pathological diagnosis, since a white plaque in the TVF can have numerous differential diagnoses ...

IL‐6 Degradation by Secreted Proteases From Paracoccidioides restrepiensis
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,
