Invasive Infections Caused by Nannizziopsis spp. Molds in Immunocompromised Patients

We report 2 new cases of invasive infections caused by Nannizziopsis spp. molds in France. Both patients had cerebral abscesses and were immunocompromised. Both patients had recently spent time in Africa.

PEACILOMYCES INFECTION IN AN IMMUNOCOMPROMISED PATIENT

Paecilomyces sp, is a saprophytic fungus which has rarely been associated with human disease. We report the first case of invasive subcutaneous infection caused by this fungus in a 78-year-old female from Damghan, Iran, with diabetes and chronic renal failure. A biopsy provided an initial diagnosis of the mold in tissue. Multiple positive fungal cultures which were obtained from the biopsie...

Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in non-immunocompromised patients.

Prevention of infection due to Pneumocystis spp. in human immunodeficiency virus-negative immunocompromised patients.

Pneumocystis infection in humans was originally described in 1942. The organism was initially thought to be a protozoan, but more recent data suggest that it is more closely related to the fungi. Patients with cellular immune deficiencies are at risk for the development of symptomatic Pneumocystis infection. Populations at risk also include patients with hematologic and nonhematologic malignanc...
