A 41-year-old woman with no known immunosuppression experienced a 12-year period of relapsing phaeohyphomycosis. Despite administration multiple courses therapy standard antifungals, sustained clinical remission was not achieved. partial response seen initially the combination itraconazole and flucytosine therapy, but patient did respond to subsequent treatment. During patient's pregnancy, mycosis became disseminated, lymphadenopathy fever, considered life threatening. receipt parenteral...
Ketoconazole was given orally to 33 patients with paracoccidioidomycosis and 23 histoplasmosis. There were 55 men one woman, ages ranged from 28 67 years. Each patient had either the chronic disseminated or pulmonary form of disease. The diagnosis established in 54 by culture Paracoccidioides brasiliensis Histoplasma capsulatum lesions two clinical picture results serologic tests for initial dosage 400 mg per day. reduced 200 when a cure achieved. duration treatment 18 months.

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,...
A non-comparative open trial with itraconazole in progressive forms of human histoplasmosis was carried out. Thirty two patients who completed 6 months treatment were included; 29 suffered the chronic disseminated form; 2 exhibited a pulmonary and one patient presented subacute form. males females; their ages ranged from 37 to 78 years old (average 56.9). The following underlying diseases registered: hepatopathies: 12 cases; endocrinopathies steroid therapy: 13 obstructive disease: 10...
The results of 5034 blood cultures, implementing a lysis-centrifugation method with saponin, are summarized in this paper. Three hundred and twenty-two samples (6.3%) obtained from pool human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients yielded fungi. Cryptococcus neoformans was isolated 199 (3.95%), Histoplasma capsulatum 95 (1.89%). Candida parapsilosis 12 (0.23%), C. albicans 7 (0.13%), tropicalis 2, krusei 1, guillermondii Prototheca wickerhamii 4 (0.07%). Blood cultures were positive...
Durante 5 años se estudiaron 117 pacientes con micosis sistémicas asociadas al SIDA: 74 criptococosis, 39 histoplasmosis y 4 ambas enfermedades. Para el diagnóstico analizamos los siguientes materiales: escarificaciones de lesiones cutáneas o mucosas, aspirados médula ósea, secreciones bronquiales, biopsias diversos órganos, líquido cefalorraquídeo, hemocultivos sueros para determinaciones serológicas. Fueron estudiadas en total 203 muestras histoplasmosis, 46.3% las mismas acusó la...
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.
