The hazards associated with invasive candidiasis and aspergillosis in oncology patients are well recognised. These conditions typically present late in treatment, often after prolonged or recurrent episodes of neutropenia. We report the occurrence of Absidia corymbifera infection causing
We report on a man suffering from chronic myelogenous leukaemia treated by allogeneic bone marrow transplantation who, in the late post-transplantation phase, developed a hyperacute fatal invasive rhinocerebral zygomycosis. The origin of the ascending infection was the sinus sphenoidalis from which
A 21-year-old woman suffered heatstroke and developed diarrhea while trekking across south Texas. The heatstroke was complicated by seizures, rhabdomyolysis, pneumonia, renal failure, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. The patient's stool and blood cultures grew Campylobacter jejuni. The
Rhinocerebral phycomycosis is an uncommon opportunistic infection with ubiquitous fungi of the class Phycomycetes, starting in the nose and extending to the paranasal sinuses and then intracranially. The condition is often characterized by poor prognosis because of occlusion of the internal carotid
Immunosuppressive agents increase the vulnerability of solid organ transplant patients to opportunistic infections. An atypical clinical presentation of a bacterial and fungal co-infection makes diagnosis and treatment even more challenging in this population. A 54-year-old hypertensive woman
The neurologic evaluation of an individual cardiac transplant recipient often does not lead to a succinct bedside diagnosis. There are few consistent clinical observations. The onset of seizures in the early postoperative period is associated with embolic cerebral infarction. Seizures occur most
BACKGROUND
Cutaneous manifestations of deep mycotic infection are fraught with delayed or misdiagnosis from mainly cutaneous neoplastic lesions.
OBJECTIVE
This study is designed to present our experience of these mycoses in a pathology laboratory in the tropics.
METHODS
A clinicopathologic analysis
Intracranial fungal granuloma (IFG) remains an uncommon entity. The authors report a single-institute study of 90 cases of IFG, which is the largest study until now.In this retrospective study, all cases of IFG surgically treated in the years 2001-2018 were Zygomycosis is an infection caused by opportunistic fungi of the Zygomycetes class, specifically those from the Mucorales and Entomophthorales orders. It is an uncommon disease, mainly restricted to immunocompromised patients. We report a case of a 73-year-old male patient with a history of fever
The authors encountered a 7-year-old girl with a huge brain abscess and invasive pulmonary lesion due to fungus, who had been treated for acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Although she was administered voriconazole to prevent fungal infection, she developed partial seizure and paralysis of the left
There is a paucity of studies on spectrum of fungal infections in neurology care. This study reports clinical, MRI and outcome of patients with central nervous system (CNS) fungal infections. 39 patients with CNS fungal infections treated in neurology service during the last 3 years were included
Rhino-orbital-cerebral zygomycosis is a potentially lethal, opportunistic, fungal infection with protean manifestations, rapid progression, unpredictable course and high mortality. It is associated with angioinvasion and infarction, usually observed in diabetic ketoacidosis, immuno-compromised
