Cryptococcus gattii infection causing fulminant intracranial hypertension.
Cryptococcus neoformans variety gattii (C. gattii) causes infection in predominantly immunocompetent individuals. The majority of cases present with headache due to meningitis and its natural history normally follows an indolent course. We report a fatal case of fulminant cryptococcaemia culminating in severe intracranial hypertension due to C. gattii. Such cases of fulminant disease are rare a...
متن کاملCryptococcus gattii genotype VGIIb infection in Japan.
This report describes a case of Cryptococcus gattii VGIIb infection of the pulmonary and central nervous systems in an immunocompetent Japanese man with a travel history, and it hypothesizes the place where he was infected with C. gattii using the genotype information.
متن کاملFatal Disseminated Cryptococcus gattii Infection in New Mexico
We report a case of fatal disseminated infection with Cryptococcus gattii in a patient from New Mexico. The patient had no history of recent travel to known C. gattii-endemic areas. Multilocus sequence typing revealed that the isolate belonged to the major molecular type VGIII. Virulence studies in a mouse pulmonary model of infection demonstrated that the strain was less virulent than other C....
متن کاملCryptococcus gattii Genotype VGIIa Infection in Man, Japan, 2007
We report a patient in Japan infected with Cryptococcus gattii genotype VGIIa who had no recent history of travel to disease-endemic areas. This strain was identical to the Vancouver Island outbreak strain R265. Our results suggest that this virulent strain has spread to regions outside North America.
متن کاملCryptococcus gattii Meningitis Complicated by Listeria monocytogenes Infection
tin concentration of only 1 μg/mL to minimize false-negative results. However, some colistin-susceptible organisms might grow on MHC1 (<5% in our study), resulting in the low PCR-positive rate for mcr-1 among isolates. Exact epidemiology of the mcr-1 gene is unknown, indicating a need to conduct accurate surveillance of the gene’s prevalence in humans. Additional mechanisms unique to the mcr-1 ...
