Cryptococcal infections in non-HIV-infected patients.
Infections due to Cryptococcus species occur globally and in a wide variety of hosts, ranging from those who are severely immunosuppressed to those who have phenotypically "normal" immune systems. Approximately 1 million cases of cryptococcosis occur throughout the world, and is it estimated that there are 650,000 associated deaths annually. Most of these cases occur among patients with advance...
متن کاملImmunorestitution Diseases in Non-HIV Infected Patients
The aim of the study is to assess the clinical spectrum of immunorestitution disease (IRD) in hospitalised patients over a 12-month period. In 9 of 18 patients who presented with clinical deterioration during reduction or cessation of immunosuppressants (n=6) or bone marrow engraftment (n=3), IRD cases included scabies infestation (n=1), gastric strongyloidiasis (n=1), hepatosplenic candidiasis...
متن کاملMp1p Is a Virulence Factor in Talaromyces (Penicillium) marneffei
BACKGROUND Talaromyces marneffei is an opportunistic dimorphic fungus prevalent in Southeast Asia. We previously demonstrated that Mp1p is an immunogenic surface and secretory mannoprotein of T. marneffei. Since Mp1p is a surface protein that can generate protective immunity, we hypothesized that Mp1p and/or its homologs are virulence factors. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We examined the pa...

متن کاملTaxonomy, chemodiversity, and chemoconsistency of Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Talaromyces species
Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Talaromyces are among the most chemically inventive of all fungi, producing a wide array of secondary metabolites (exometabolites). The three genera are holophyletic in a cladistic sense and polythetic classes in an anagenetic or functional sense, and contain 344, 354, and 88 species, respectively. New developments in classification, cladification, and nomenclature...
