Cryptococcosis in wait-listed liver transplant candidates: Prevalence, manifestations, and risk factors

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection
Background: Liver cirrhosis compromises immunity against cryptococcosis, and liver transplant recipients tend to develop the disease earlier after transplantation, possibly due to unrecognized pretransplant infection.

Infection control in the brain and the eye

Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 104, Issue 5, Page e478-e490, August 2026.
Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...

Central Diabetes Insipidus and Brain Herniation Secondary to Cryptococcal Meningitis in a Dog

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Patient CSF cytology consistent with Cryptococcus fungal infection with eosinophilic inflammation. ABSTRACT Central diabetes insipidus (CDI) should be considered in neurologic patients with persistent polyuria and rising sodium concentrations despite appropriate fluid therapy. Earlier recognition, serial urine concentration monitoring, and desmopressin

LincR-PPP2R5C deficiency enhancing the fungicidal activity of neutrophils in pulmonary cryptococcosis is linked to the upregulation of IL-4

mBio
Pulmonary cryptococcosis is a common complication in immunocompromised patients. In a mouse model of pulmonary cryptococcosis, Cryptococcus neoformans induces a type 2 immune response that is detrimental to host protection. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs)
