Beyond the First Year: Epidemiology and Management of Late-Onset Opportunistic Infections After Kidney Transplantation

Transplant International
Late opportunistic infections (OI) occurring beyond the first year after kidney transplantation (KT) are poorly described and not targeted by prophylactic strategies. We performed a ten-year retrospective monocentric cohort study describing epidemiology,

Pneumocystis Exacerbates Inflammation and Mucus Hypersecretion in a Murine, Elastase-Induced-COPD Model

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Inflammation and mucus hypersecretion are frequent pathology features of chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD. Selected bacteria, viruses and fungi may synergize as co-factors in aggravating disease by activating pathways that are able to

Co-evolution of the parasitic fungi Pneumocystis and their Muridae rodent hosts in Southeast Asia [PDF]

, 2014
Pneumocystis species are opportunistic and airborne-transmitted fungi that infect the lungs of numerous mammalian species. These highly diversified fungi are characterized by strong host specificity, probably associated with co-speciation. In this study,

A Case of Delayed Refractory Mycobacterium mageritense Abdominal Wall Abscess in a Kidney Transplant Recipient

IJU Case Reports, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Mycobacterium mageritense (M. mageritense), a rare non‐tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM), can cause infections in immunocompromised patients, including kidney transplant recipients. We present a case of an abdominal wall abscess caused by M. mageritense following a living donor kidney transplant.

Refractory flare-up of severe bronchial asthma controlled with mepolizumab due to Pneumocystis pneumonia: a case report

Allergy, Asthma & Clinical Immunology, 2022
Background Biologics dramatically improve symptoms of severe asthma; however, various exacerbating factors may induce flare-up. Pneumocystis spp. have not been reported as a cause of asthma exacerbation during biologic use, although patients with severe ...

A Case of Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis During Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Treatment for Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma, Complicated by Pancytopenia Attributed to Cytomegalovirus Infection

IJU Case Reports, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is characterized by macrophage and cytotoxic lymphocyte hyperactivation, fever, pancytopenia, liver dysfunction, and abnormal coagulation. However, no specific treatments have been established for HLH caused by immune checkpoint inhibitors.

What do Pneumocystis organisms tell us about the phylogeography of their hosts? The case of the woodmouse Apodemus sylvaticus in continental Europe and western Mediterranean islands.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Pneumocystis fungi represent a highly diversified biological group with numerous species, which display a strong host-specificity suggesting a long co-speciation process.

Rare Infectious Diseases: Detection and Clinical Implications

iLABMED, EarlyView.
Rare infectious diseases are infections that are uncommon, have a low incidence, and are caused by newly emerging pathogens, cross‐species or ectopic infections, or host immunodeficiencies. The detection and diagnosis of rare infections is one of the main reasons for misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.
