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...
Invasive fungal infections, particularly those caused by Candida species, are not uncommon in critically ill patients and are associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis and management of these infections can be challenging. In this review, we will briefly discuss recent epidemiological data on invasive candidiasis and current diagnostic approaches before concentrating on an...
Fungal infections of the nose and paranasal sinuses are frequent in this part of the world. One aspect of the increased frequency is the improved clinical, radiological and pathological diagnostic methods that are now available. Aspergillus is the commonest infecting fungus of the nose and the paranasal sinus. It is mainly a saprophytic spore producing fungus and can cause invasive and non-inva...
It is a striking observation that tissue of patients invaded by the deep mycoses often lacks evidence of an inflammatory response. This lack of host response is often attributed to neutropenia secondary to chemotherapy. However, systematic studies do not support this simplistic explanation. However, invasive fungal lesions are characterized by abundant fungal functional amyloid, which in turn i...
Among the most significant complications a neutropenic patient can experience is an invasive fungal infection. In this issue of Oncology, Drs. Wingard and Leather thoroughly review the epidemiology, clinical presentation, and empiric treatment of these infections, particularly those associated with Candida and Aspergillus. They emphasize the need for better methods of identifying individuals at...
Invasive fungal infections of the sinonasal tract are a rare but known entity in immunocompromised patients. Paecilomyces lilacinus is a nematophagous fungi with septate hyphae that has afflicted humans in multiple forms, causing cutaneous, ocular, and sinonasal infections. Only 4 cases of P lilacinus and 2 cases of Paecilomyces variotii in the sinonasal tract have been reported in the literatu...
An increasing incidence of invasive fungal infections is observed in most immunocompromised patients, and especially leukaemia patients. In order to decrease the mortality due to these infections, the clinicians need to optimise their treatment choices for the most common fungal infections observed in this population: invasive aspergillosis and candidiasis. These recommendations have been devel...
Invasive fungal infection is one of the major complication of severe burns which can induce local or systemic inflammatory response and cause serious substantial damage to the patient. The incidence of fungal infection for burn victims is increasing dramatically during recent years. This guideline, organized by Chinese Society of Burn Surgeons, aims to standardize the diagnosis, prevention and ...
Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) are a well known, lifethreatening complication of neutropenia in haematologic patients. However, IFIs also affect various types of non-neutropenic patients, particularly those admitted in the hospital in critical conditions [1]. Candida spp. infections are mainly documented in intensive care units (ICUs), especially in patients undergone to major surgery, recei...
OBJECTIVE To analyse 15 cases of invasive fungal infection and mortality parameters in the largest series in the last 35 yrs of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) at a single medical centre. METHODS Fifteen patients with SLE and invasive fungal infections were retrospectively enrolled. Clinical and laboratory data, fungal species and infected sites, corticosteroid and immunosupp...
