HemaSphere, Volume 3, Issue S1, Page 584, June 2019., 2019 Background: Invasive Fungal Infections of the Central Nervous System (IFI‐CNS) are very rare and life threatening complications and no specific epidemiologic data are available in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (Allo‐HSCT) recipients. Aims: We describe the incidence, clinical characteristics and outcome of IFI‐CNS detected, over a 7

Opportunistic yeast infections: candidiasis, cryptococcosis, trichosporonosis and geotrichosis [PDF]
JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, 2013 SummaryOpportunistic yeast infections are diseases caused by fungi which normally are saprophytic and do not cause disease in humans or animals. The prevalence of these diseases has been increasing due to immunosuppressive, corticosteroid, and long‐term antibiotic treatment following organ transplantation or after serious metabolic, hematological, or ...

HemaSphere, Volume 3, Issue S1, Page 584-585, June 2019., 2019 Background: Several studies have shown that most patients become seronegative to measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) during long‐term follow‐up after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo‐HCT). However, these studies mainly targeted pediatric patients and limited data were available for adult patients.

Breakthrough Trichosporonosis in Patients with Hematologic Malignancies Receiving Micafungin [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2006 Micafungin is a newly approved antifungal agent in the echinocandin class that is active against Candida species and Aspergillus species. However, this agent has limited activity against a number of fungi, including Trichosporon species. We describe 4 patients who developed disseminated trichosporonosis during the use of micafungin.

Rapid and Simple Detection of Trichosporon asahii by Optimized Colony PCR
BioMed Research International, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019 Trichosporon asahii is the major pathogen causing invasive trichosporonosis. Conventional methods of its detection are time‐consuming or costly and often require complex DNA extraction and purification steps, which hinders rapid clinical diagnosis. In this study, we evaluated colony PCR, which directly uses colonies or trace clinical samples as the ...

Medical Mycology Journal, 2012 Trichosporonosis is rare but have been associated with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestation, ranging from superficial infection to severe deep-seated mycosis. Deep-seated trichosporonosis is a lethal opportunistic infection occasionally found in immunocompromised patients, particularly those who are neutropenic due to hematological diseases or ...

Trichosporonosis in Patients with Neoplastic Disease
Medicine, 1986 Trichosporonosis due to Trichosporon beigelii or T. capitatum is an infrequent but potentially fatal invasive fungal infection in cancer patients. We studied epidemiologic, clinical, pathologic, and microbiologic features of this infection during a 7-year period at the University of Maryland Cancer Center.

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019 Immune deficiency is usually the underlying predisposing factor for cryptococcal meningitis, though there have been case reports of immunocompetent patients presenting with same. The portal of entry for Cryptococcus neoformans is the respiratory tract, and by hematogenous spread, it causes systemic symptoms.

Emerging Deep-seated Fungal Infection, Trichosporonosis
Journal of the Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases, 2006 Deep-seated trichosporonosis is a lethal opportunistic infection occasionally found in immunocompromised patients, particularly those who are neutropenic due to cytotoxic therapy for hematological malignancies. Trichosporon asahii is considered the principal etiologic agent of non-Candida fungemia and disseminated trichosporonosis in Japan.

Trichosporonosis in Pediatric Patients With a Hematologic Disorder [PDF]
Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society, 2017 Trichosporonosis is an emerging and often fatal opportunistic fungal infection in immunocompromised patients, particularly those with hematologic malignancy, but data in children are lacking.We report here 3 cases of invasive infection caused by Trichosporon asahii in pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at Texas Children's Hospital in ...
