Resistance of filamental fungi in opportunistic mycoses: literature review

Fungal diseases need to be better known and studied, as they are not the first diagnostic hypotheses main causes of morbidity mortality among immunocompromised patients. Main agents involved in opportunistic mycoses: Cryptococcus spp., Candida Aspergillus spp. Pneumocystis present epidemiological data these infections modest, due incorrect or incomplete diagnoses. adding this indiscriminate use antifungal contributed a change profile selecting resistant fungal strains, increasing rate affected Thus, study aims review literature on fungi address important aspects resistance filamentous fungi. A search was carried out scientific based electronic database Pubmed, MedlinePlus, Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), Academic Google., using descriptors: Filamentous Fungi, Antifungals; spp.; albicans; neoformans; Sporothrixs chenckii; resistance, mycoses profile. Studies indicate that rapid diagnosis choice correct drug can increase recovery rates patients with infections. The delay even drugs low efficiency has aggravated and, at same time, increased infected mycoses. This bibliographic base cases their available.
