orbital mucormycosis in an immunocompetent individual.

background: orbital mucormycosis caused by zygomycetes is a rare and fatal infection that generally affects the patients who  are  immunocompromised.  despite  antifungal  therapy  and  aggressive  surgical  intervention,  mucormycosis  can cause serious and rapidly fatal infections if delayed diagnosis or therapeutic management occurs. here, we report orbital mucormycosis in a healthy boy, wit...

Cytodiagnosis of disseminated histoplasmosis in an immunocompetent individual with molluscum contagiosum-like skin lesions and lymphadenopathy

Disseminated histoplasmosis is caused by the dimorphic fungus Histoplasma capsulatum (H. capsulatum). The early clinical manifestations are nonspecific, often lead to diagnostic difficulty, and is misdiagnosed as tuberculosis and seen usually in immunosuppressed states. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a simple, safe, and quick technique to establish the initial diagnosis of H. capsula...

Post endodontic Aspergillosis in an immunocompetent individual

UNLABELLED Non-invasive aspergillosis in immunocompetent individuals subsequent to post endodontic treatment can involve the maxillary antrum. An early and accurate diagnosis will aid in prompt and effective treatment. A 35 year old female patient reported with a painful nasomaxillary swelling. Previous records revealed the failure of the endodontic treatment of maxillary left second premolar w...

CNS toxoplasmosis in an immunocompetent individual.

Toxoplasmosis is a serious and life-threatening disease in humans with a high prevalence in immunocompromised persons. The disease has a wide spectrum, depending on the immune status of the person. A CNS manifestation of toxoplasmosis in an immunocompetent person is very rare and often undetected. Our case of CNS toxoplasmosis in an immunocompetent person emphasizes the radiological diagnosis, ...
