The disease caused by the new SARS-CoV-2, known as Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), was first identified in China December and rapidly spread around world. Coinfections with fungal pathogens patients COVID-19 add challenges to patient care. We conducted a literature review on coinfections COVID-19. describe report of disseminated histoplasmosis who likely infected SARS-CoV-2 experienced during hospital care Buenos Aires, Argentina. This presented advanced HIV disease, well-known factor for...
A case of tinea corporis by Trichophyton indotineae observed in Argentina is presented. The patient had a history having spent 18 months Tulum, Mexico. She was suffering from the anterior region both thighs and gluteal area. mycological study performed T. mentagrophytes complex isolated. fungus later identified as DNA sequencing treatment with SUBA-itraconazole initiated good clinical response.
Aspergillosis is a set of very frequent and widely distributed opportunistic diseases. Azoles are the first choice for most clinical forms. However, distribution azole-resistant strains not well known around world, especially in developing countries. The aim our study was to determine proportion non-wild type among isolates Aspergillus spp. To this end, minimum inhibitory concentration three azoles amphotericin B (used occasionally severe forms) studied by broth microdilution. Unexpectedly,...
Sporotrichosis is an implantation mycosis caused by Sporothrix spp. It distributed worldwide and can be found in vegetation soil. The most frequent route of infection trauma with elements contaminated fungal propagules. Since domestic cats are the affected animals transmit this to humans, sporotrichosis considered a zoonosis. Clinical presentations include nodular lymphangitis, fixed cutaneous, pulmonary (rare), disseminated (exceptional).To analyze epidemiology Argentina during 2010 2022....
Paracoccidioidomycosis (Pm) is a systemic disease, endemic in the American continent. There are two different clinical forms, infant-juvenile or subacute form (PmS) and chronic adult (PmC). The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) associated paracoccidioidomycosis (PmHIV) shares characteristics with both of previously mentioned forms. objective this work was to describe epidemiological, laboratory features PmHIV compare them ones PmS PmC. A retrospective analysis 119 patients performed. Ninety...
A descriptive observational and cross-sectional study was carried out. The clinical characteristics, etiologic agents, treatments outcome of 33 cases tinea capitis in the Mycology Unit at Francisco J. Muñiz Hospital Buenos Aires City between January 2015 December 2019 were analyzed. median age patients 7 years, 21 whom male, 3 HIV-positive 22 had pets. isolated agents following: Microsporum canis cases, Trichophyton tonsurans 8, Nannizzia gypsea 2 mentagrophytes one patient. Suppurative...
Cryptococcosis is one of the most serious opportunistic diseases in patients living with HIV. For this reason, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are important. Objectives. The aim study was to understand development diagnosed cryptococcosis by detection Cryptococcus antigen serum lateral flow assay (CrAg LFA) without nervous system involvement accordance results. Materials Methods. A retrospective, longitudinal, analytical performed. Seventy initially CrAg LFA meningeal between...
Fungal infections in patients with COVID-19 was one of the most debated topics during pandemic.To analyze clinical characteristics and evolution people living HIV/AIDS coinfection cryptococcus (group A) or without it B).This is an analytical retrospective study. We reviewed medical records meningeal cryptococcosis between April 2020 May 2021.We studied 65 infection diagnosed from to 2021. Fifteen suffered COVID-19, out these, 14 presented meningitis A), while 28 cryptococcosis, but did not...
En diciembre de 2019 se identificó en Wuhan, China, un nuevo coronavirus denominado SARS-CoV-2, agente causal la epidemia neumonía atípica COVID-2019, que el 11 marzo 2020 fue declarada pandemia por OMS.

Abstract Histoplasmosis poses a significant risk to HIV patients, particularly in regions with limited access antiretroviral therapy. Antigen detection assays are crucial these settings for timely diagnosis and treatment, which can reduce mortality. While commercial antigen kits have performed well diagnosing histoplasmosis, their effectiveness monitoring treatment remains unclear. This study aimed evaluate the correlation between urine levels clinical response using Clarus Histoplasma GM...

Histoplasmosis is a systemic mycosis of universal distribution, highly endemic in the Americas. It caused by dimorphic fungus Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum. affects both immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals where progressive disseminated forms are observed. A very important risk factor HIV infection/AIDS, with mortality rate 20-40% Latin America. The diagnosis this made conventional molecular methods or antigen antibody detection. 
 This study evaluated sensitivity...
