Severe coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is currently managed with systemic glucocorticoids. Opportunistic fungal infections are of concern in such patients. While COVID-19 associated pulmonary aspergillosis is increasingly recognized, mucormycosis is rare. We describe a case of probable pulmonary mucormycosis in a 55-year-old man with diabetes, end-s...

In this report, we describe the first isolation of two highly terbinafine (TRF)-resistant Trichophyton interdigitale-like strains from a Nepali patient and an Indian patient with tinea corporis in Japan. These strains (designated NUBS19006 and NUBS19007) exhibited a TRF minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of > 32 mg/L and contained a missense mu...

Cryptococcal meningitis remains a common cause of mortality in low- and middle-income countries, where amphotericin B deoxycholate (amphotericin) plus fluconazole is the most common treatment. Flucytosine is almost uniformly absent as is outcome data on flucytosine use in routine care. The main goal of this study was identified the cumulative morta...

Most reports associating fungal infections with COVID-19 have been cases of invasive aspergillosis. Here, we report a case of severe histoplasmosis and COVID-19 infections in an HIV patient in Rio Grande, Southern Brazil. Histoplasmosis must be included as a diagnostic possibility in opportunistic fungal co-infections in COVID-19 patients with AIDS...

Stachybotrys ( S. ) chartarum is a cellulolytic mould with the ability to produce highly cytotoxic macrocyclic trichothecenes. Two chemotypes are defined according to their ability to produce either atranones or satratoxins. S. chartarum has been well known as the causative agent of the lethal disease stachybotryotoxicosis in horses. Further invest...

A retrospective, single-center analysis of 14 cases of Candida endocarditis (from 355 candidemia cases during the years 2012–2019) revealed a high in-hospital mortality (57.1%), a high proportion of healthcare-associated infections (13/14) and a high treatment preference for echinocandins. Transthoracic echocardiography and 18F-FDG PET/CT had a sen...

Although patients with severe immunodeficiency and hematological malignancies has been considered at highest risk for invasive fungal infection, patients with severe pneumonia due to influenza, and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) are also at a higher risk of developing invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA). Recently, repor...

The yeast Candida glabrata has emerged, second only to Candida albicans, to be one of the most frequently isolated fungi in clinical specimen from human. Its frequent resistance towards azole antifungal drugs and the high capacity to form biofilms on indwelling catheters of individual isolates render it an often difficult to treat pathogen. Hence, ...
