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.
Immunosuppressed patients, transplant recipients, and those with acute or chronic respiratory disease are at increased risk for invasive fungal infections in Argentina. Although the national public system guarantees universal access to health care all citizens, little is known about quality of available diagnostic treatment armamentaria country. Between June August 2022, infectious clinicians from each 23 provinces Autonomous City Buenos Aires were contacted describe local tools antifungal...
BACKGROUND. Weakly virulent environmental mycobacteria (EM) can cause severe disease in HLA-DRB1*15:02 or 16:02 adult individuals harboring neutralizing anti-IFN-γ autoantibodies (nAIGAs). The overall prevalence of nAIGA a general population are unknown as is the penetrance individuals, and proportion patients with unexplained, adult-onset EM infections carrying nAIGAs. METHODS. This study analyzed detection neutralization (auto-Abs) from 8,430 healthy population, 257 carriers, 1,063...
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,...
Cryptococcosis is an opportunistic mycosis, especially in patients that are human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive, and frequently involves the central nervous system.We assessed potential of ventriculoperitoneal shunting (VPS) preventing mortality due to uncontrollable intracranial hypertension (ICH) 15 with acquired syndrome (AIDS)-related cryptococcal meningitis.After 2 weeks antifungal therapy consisting amphotericin B deoxycholate or without fluconazole, persistent ICH underwent...
Chromoblastomycosis, an implantation mycosis, is a neglected tropical disease that causes decreased quality of life, stigma, and disability. The global burden unknown data on epidemiology outcomes are severely limited by lack access to needed diagnostic tools therapeutics. World Health Organization outlined targets for chromoblastomycosis in the Road Map Neglected Tropical Diseases 2021-2030, but little progress has been made initiating implementing effective control program globally. This...
Information on paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) in Argentina is fragmented and has historically been based estimates, supported only by a series of few reported cases. Considering the lack global information, national multicentric study order to carry out more comprehensive analysis was warranted. We present data including demographic clinical aspects historical 466 cases recorded over 10 years (2012-2021). Patients were aged from 1 89 years. The general male: female (M:F) ratio 9.5:1 with...
Abstract The impact of COVID‐19 on paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) in Argentina and the consequences generated by pandemic are discussed. From 2018 to 3 years after declaration, 285 proven PCM patients were registered. No association between both diseases was documented. frequency decreased extremely low levels 2020. Mandatory social isolation emotional psychological effects under circumstances led delays diagnosis, severe disseminated cases, other challenges for diagnosis subsequent years....
The effect of albendazole was studied in 12 patients with cystic hydatid disease (CHD) the liver. Six received continuously for 6 months, while courses 4 weeks a 2 week drug-free interval between cycles. continuous therapy proved successful, stable involution at follow-up 24 treated discontinuous showed improvement or relapse. In our experience, more effective and can be considered to suitable alternative percutaneous uncomplicated liver disease, as an initial treatment.
Antecedentes: La histoplasmosis es una micosis de gran relevancia en pacientes con SIDA. El cuadro clínico puede ser muy variado y, enfermos que no desarrollan lesiones cutáneas, el diagnóstico suele demorar varias semanas.
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...
