background: acute fulminant fungal sinusitis is a rapidly progressive disease with high mortality (50-80%) and occurring with increasing frequency in patients with acute leukemia. the purpose of the present study was early diagnosis of this le­thal infection. methods: in a cross-sectional study, 142 patients with hematological malignancies were studied immediately by initiation of chemotherapy ...

oilseed rape is economically affected by stem rot caused by sclerotinia sclerotiorum worldwide. glucosinolates arethe specific secondary metabolites of brassica plants that appear in different profiles of each species. their hydrolysisproducts have biocidal activity and may play a role in resistance against plant pathogenic fungi. the resistance ofoilseed rape (brassica napus) cultivars and two...

Background: Allergic fungal sinusitis is a non-invasive disease, and accounts for approximately 6-8% of all chronic sinusitis requiring surgical intervention. As the treatment and prognosis of these disorders vary significantly, it is extremely important to recognize allergic fugal sinusitis and differentiate it from chronic sinusitis of bacterial and fungal origin. This prospective study evalu...

  Background and Objective: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is one of the most common chronic diseases. In the past decades, there has been an increase in fungal infections of sinuses and fungal rhinosinusitis (FRS) has been diagnosed more frequently. Knowing the fungal flora and its prevalence in CRS patients will allow a better understanding of this disease, permitting a correct diagnosis, trea...

Patients with acute leukemia who initially survive invasive fungal disease must receive chemotherapy or go on to transplant. Many centers change subsequent chemotherapy to decrease the risk of fungal reactivation. This case-control study compared acute leukemia patients (n=28) who developed a proven or probable fungal disease and survived four weeks later, to patients who did not (n=78), and as...
