Detection of opportunistic fungi from the bronchoalveolar lavage specimens of patients with pulmonary diseases [PDF]

Advanced Biomedical Research, 2023
Background: Opportunistic fungi are a constantly evolving group of pathogens that become active when the immune system is compromised, begin to multiply, and soon overwhelm the weakened immune system.

A rare cause of soft tissue infections: Pseudallescheria boydii [PDF]

Journal of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2015
Pseudallescheria boydii, a rare cause of infection in humans, are saprofitic microorganisms which are found in soil. In this report, we describe a renal transplant patient who had a skin-soft tissue infection at the anterior side of her left tibia due to

Pseudallescheria Boydii pneumonia in an immunocompetent host. [PDF]

Am J Case Rep, 2012
Pseudallescheria boydii pneumonia is rarely reported among immunocompetent patients.We report a case of a 62 year old white female with pseudallescheria boydii pneumonia. The patient was non-immunocompromised, had a history of mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection prior to presentation. After successful response to initial antitubercular therapy,

SUR7 deletion in Candida albicans impacts extracellular vesicle features and delivery of virulence factors

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 2, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) from human fungal pathogens have been implicated in fungal virulence, yet little is known about their role in the host‐pathogen interaction. Progress has been hampered by the lack of a specific marker for fungal EVs that can be used to monitor EV isolation and tracking in biological systems.

Pseudallescheria boydii keratitis [PDF]

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Ophthalmology, 1992
AbstractWe treated a case of post‐traumatic keratitis caused by the soil saprophyte, Pseudallescheria boydii. The injury was caused by a wood splinter which produced a perforating corneal laceration that was primarily repaired. Signs of corneal infection were not evident until the fourth postoperative week.

The clinical yield of bronchoscopy in the management of cystic fibrosis: A retrospective multicenter study

Pediatric Pulmonology, Volume 58, Issue 2, Page 500-506, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Pulmonary disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF). Several studies have shown no benefit for bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) over sputum to obtain microbiological cultures, hence the role of bronchoscopy in pwCF is unclear.

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 ...
