Disseminated Infections with Talaromyces marneffei in Non-AIDS Patients Given Monoclonal Antibodies against CD20 and Kinase Inhibitors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Infections with the fungus Talaromyces (formerly Penicillium) marneffei are rare in patients who do not have AIDS. We report disseminated T. marneffei infection in 4 hematology patients without AIDS who received targeted therapy with monoclonal antibodies against CD20 or kinase inhibitors during the past 2 years. Clinicians should be aware of this emerging complication, especially in patients from disease-endemic regions.

Disseminated Penicillium marneffei infection with IRIS.
Penicillium marneffei infection is an endemic opportunistic infection for AIDS patients that can be found in south Asia. Fever and typical skin lesions are the most commonly seen symptoms. Our case describes an AIDS patient with Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (IRIS) presented with liver masses and skin lesions whose blood, bone marrow and ascites culture were all identified with P....
متن کاملDisseminated Talaromyces marneffei and Mycobacterium abscessus in a Patient With Anti-Interferon-γ Autoantibodies
Anti-interferon (IFN)-γ autoantibodies are increasingly recognized as a cause of adult-onset immunodeficiency and increased risk for infections with intracellular pathogens. We report on disseminated Talaromyces (Penicillium) marneffei and Mycobacterium abscessus infection in a 72-year-old, human immunodeficiency virus noninfected, Thai man with anti-IFN-γ autoantibody. The patient was successf...
متن کاملProduction of a monoclonal antibody against a yeast secreted antigen of Penicillium marneffei.
Monoclonal antibody against P. mameffei yeast secreted antigen was produced in order to develop a serological test for penicilliosis marneffei. The yeast form of P. marneffei was cultured in brain heart infusion broth at 37 degrees C for 7 days. A secreted antigen was prepared, partially purified from culture supernatant and subsequently immunized in a BALB/c mouse. Mouse monoclonal antibody wa...

Background & Aims: Nowadays, by advent of hybridoma technology in monoclonal antibodies production various cell markers could be evaluated in malignant and non-malignant cells. CD20, non-glycosylated phosphoprotein is as an ideal marker in leukemia and B-cell lymphoma diagnosis which is expressed on more than 95% of normal and neoplastic B-cells except for early B-cells and mature plasma. Th...
متن کاملGenome Sequence of the AIDS-Associated Pathogen Penicillium marneffei (ATCC18224) and Its Near Taxonomic Relative Talaromyces stipitatus (ATCC10500)
Penicillium marneffei can cause a fatal systemic mycosis in patients infected with the HIV. Infections are endemic in the tropical regions of southeast Asia. Here, we report the genome sequences of the type strains of P. marneffei and its avirulent near relative, Talaromyces stipitatus.
