Recent advances in serodiagnosis for cysticercosis.
Neurocysticercosis (NCC) caused by infection with the larval stage of Taenia solium is an important cause of neurological disease worldwide. Up to the present, many studies on characterizing species-specific antigens of T. solium have been done and several high quality antigens for serodiagnosis are available. Hence the research on serodiagnosis has been shifted to the next phase, stable produc...
متن کاملMicrobiology of systemic fungal infections.
The increased incidence of systemic fungal infections in the past two decades has been overwhelming. Earlier, it was pathogenic dimorphic fungi, which were known to cause systemic infections. However, starting from the 1960s, opportunistic fungi started causing more number of infections, especially in the immunocompromised host. More recently, newer and less common fungal agents are being incre...
متن کاملOverview of systemic fungal infections.
A steady increase in the frequency of invasive fungal infections has been observed in the past 2 decades, particularly in immunosuppressed patients. In recipients of bone marrow transplants, Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus remain the primary pathogens. In many centers, however, Candida species other than C albicans now predominate, and many cases of aspergillosis are due to species o...
متن کاملSystemic fungal infections in neonates
Advances in neonatal management have led to considerable improvement in newborn survival. However, early (<72 hours) and late (>72hours) onset systemic infections, both bacterial and fungal, remain a devastating complication and an important cause of morbidity and mortality in these babies. Most neonatal fungal infections are due to Candida species, particularly Candida albicans. The sources of...
متن کاملREVIEW Changing epidemiology of systemic fungal infections
Species of Candida and Aspergillus remain the most common causes of invasive fungal infections, but other yeasts and filamentous fungi are emerging as significant pathogens. Opportunistic yeast-like fungi and moulds such as Zygomycetes, Fusarium spp. and Scedosporium spp. are increasingly being recognised in patient groups such as those with leukaemia and in bone marrow transplant recipients. R...
