Detection of DOPA-melanin in the dimorphic fungal pathogen Penicillium marneffei and its effect on macrophage phagocytosis in vitro. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The fungal pathogen Penicillium marneffei produces melanin-like pigment in vitro. The synthetic pathway of melanin and its possible influence in the protective yeast cells surviving within macrophage cells are not known. In this work, P.

Detection of Talaromyces marneffei from Fresh Tissue of an Inhalational Murine Pulmonary Model Using Nested PCR. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Penicilliosis marneffei, often consecutive to the aspiration of Talaromyces marneffei (Penicillium marneffei), continues to be one of the significant causes of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients in endemic regions such as Southeast ...

Penicillium keratitis in an Immunocompetent Patient from Pune, Maharashtra, India [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2014
The incidence of fungal keratitis is less common than bacterial and viral keratitis. However, it remains a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Delayed clinical diagnosis is common mainly because of lack of suspicion.

The decreased number and function of lymphocytes is associated with Penicillium marneffei infection in HIV-negative patients

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2021
Background/purpose: Penicillium marneffei (P. marneffei) infection, which has been traditionally considered as an indicator of immunosuppression, is one of the most common systemic opportunistic infections in patients with AIDS. Recently, more and more P.

Exosomes released from macrophages infected with Talaromyces marneffei activate the innate immune responses and decrease the replication

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 11, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
Our studies are the first to demonstrate that exosomes isolated from T. marneffei‐infected macrophages can induce a pro‐inflammatory response, and we hypothesize that exosomes play significant roles in activation of ERK1/2 and autophagy, the replication of T. marneffei and cytokine release during T. marneffei infection.
