Fungal infections in humans range flom superficial and cutaneous (such as dermatophytoses) to deeply invasive and dissemi hated (such as candidiasis and cryptococcosis). Pathogenic fungi occur worldwide, although particular species may predominate in certain geographic areas. In the past 20 years, fungal infections have increased dramatically--paradoxically, as a resuh of medical advances. Fung...

Medically important fungal infections can be broadly classified into superficial surface infections and invasive mycoses (Samaranayake and MacFarlane, 1990; Roemer and Krysan, 2014). Superficial surface infections include mucosal candidiasis, dermatophyte infections whereas invasive mycoses affect sterile body sites such as bloodstream, central nervous system, kidney, lungs, and liver. Rise of ...

Background: The proportion of elderly population keeps on increasing. The number of dermatoses, and fungal infections, in turn continues to increase. There has been a recent upsurge of superficial cutaneous fungal infections. This observational cross sectional study aims to describe the clinico epidemiological pattern of patients presenting with the same, with some investigation as KOH mount an...

chronic granulomatous disease is an inherited defect in intracellular killing of ingested microorganisms characterized by recurrent life threatening bacterial and fungal infections including invasive aspergillosis in early childhood. we report  a  disseminated aspergillosis as  the  representative  of  adult  onset  chronic granulomatous disease without previous infection, with dramatic respons...

RNA processing is essential factor for synthesis of functional and structural proteins in eukaryote cells. In eukaryote organisms it will be initiated with transcription of DNA in nucleolus and terminated to mRNA translation in cytoplasm, finally mRNA degraded. Protein synthesis followed as different steps, includes 5' capping, poly adenylating, processing and transferring from nucleolus to cyt...

Candida species normally exist as commensals of the skin and mucosa, but they are also opportunistic pathogens, with the ability to cause a variety of superficial and invasive diseases. Among the several of Candida species, Candida albicans remains the most common fungal isolate, mainly from blood cultures in the diagnostic of nosocomial bloodstream infection. However, the rates of candida infe...

fungal infection of uterine of dairy cattle have not been received much more attention. the aim of this study was: to investigate the uterine mycoflora of dairy cows with reproductive disorders or healthy. uterine sampling of 112 holstein dairy cows included 70 cows with reproductive disorders and 42 healthy cows were collected directly. samples were cultured in sabouraud glucose agar at 28°c f...

Background: Tinea capitis (TC) is the most prevalent pediatric superficial dermatophyte infection. Scalp dermoscopy or “trichoscopy” represents a valuable, noninvasive technique for evaluation of patients with hair loss due to TC. Purpose: To characterize trichoscopic findings in children clinical suggestive Case: A 13-year-old boy was presented scaled plaque on his scalp that had appeared 1 mo...
