Co‐trimoxazole prophylaxis for children who are HIV‐exposed and uninfected: a systematic review

Journal of the International AIDS Society, Volume 26, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Introduction Co‐trimoxazole prophylaxis is recommended for children born to women with HIV to protect those who acquire HIV from opportunistic infections, severe bacterial infections and malaria. With scale‐up of maternal antiretroviral therapy, most children remain HIV‐exposed uninfected (HEU) and the benefits of universal co‐trimoxazole are ...

Bendamustine and pneumocystis pneumonia: A systematic review

Health Science Reports, Volume 5, Issue 3, May 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Bendamustine, a bifunctional mechlorethamine alkylating agent, is used in the treatment of patients with hematologic malignancies. Myelosuppression and cytotoxic effect arises quite often after bendamustine treatment. To date, there have been no recommendations for routine chemoprophylaxis for Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) in

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 ...

Comparative genomics suggests that the human pathogenic fungus Pneumocystis jirovecii acquired obligate biotrophy through gene loss. [PDF]

, 2014
Pneumocystis jirovecii is a fungal parasite that colonizes specifically humans and turns into an opportunistic pathogen in immunodeficient individuals. The fungus is able to reproduce extracellularly in host lungs without eliciting massive cellular death.
