Cryptococcal infection had an increased incidence in last years due to the explosion of acquired immune deficiency syndrome epidemic and by using new effective immunosuppressive agents. The currently antifungal therapies used such as amphotericin B, fluconazole, itraconazole have certain limitations side effects emergence resistant strains. So, a permanent search find drugs for cryptococcosis treatment is essential. Ocimum gratissimum, plant known alfavaca (Labiatae family), has been...

The objective of this study was to identify possible predisposing factors for candiduria in intensive care unit (ICU) patients from Hospital das Clínicas, Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, Brazil, during one year. Urine samples 153 ICU were obtained by catheterization on admission day and every seven days. Data such as sex, age, antifungal therapy, variables antibiotics, underlying diseases or comorbid conditions stay the hospital, collected who had at least urine culture that yielded...

Summary The development of more effective and less toxic antifungal agents is required for the treatment dermatophytosis. Plants their preparations have been used as medicines against infectious diseases. Extracts Ocimum gratissimum leaves were investigated in vitro activity, using agar dilution technique dermatophytes. extracts (hexane, chloroform fractions, essential oil eugenol) produced activities Microsporum canis , M. gypseum Trichophyton rubrum T. mentagrophytes . most common...

Onychomycosis defined as fungal infection of the nail represents more than 50% all onychopathies. Epidemiological studies have shown that this mycosis is worldwide in occurrence, but with geographical variation distribution. The direct microscopy and culture samples were performed to identify causative agent. Out 2273 patients examined between January 2000 December 2004 Goiania, state Goias, Brazil, diagnosis onychomycosis was confirmed 1282 cases, dermatophytes Candida species being most...

The widespread occurrence of cryptococcosis mainly in immunocompromised patients and the side effects available drugs which are effective against this mycosis have led investigators to search for new antimycotic agents. Caryocar brasiliensis derived compounds were investigated Cryptococcus neoformans using agar dilution method. Based on MIC values, best results obtained with a concentration < 250 g/mL cuticular waxes leaf collected during dry period (170.8mm precipitation) inhibited growth...
