Abstract: We present the case of an immunocompetent 55-year-old woman, treated with corticosteroids, developing a cerebral fungal infection with autoptic ascertainment of aspergillosis and mucormycosis. This is the first report of cerebral co-infection by mucorales and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/23744235.2019.1590632
Abstract: Abstract Background: Data on whether positive non-sterile fungal culture has the same clinical value as a positive galactomannan (GM) result are limited. Methods: Patients with biopsy-proven invasive aspergillosis or mucormycosis (over an 8-year period) in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/jcm.01409-22
Abstract: There has been significant increase in the use of molecular tools for the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis (IA) and mucormycosis. However, their range of detection may be too limited as species diversity and coinfections are… read more here.

Diagnostic performance of the (1–3)-β-D-glucan assay in patients with Pneumocystis jirovecii compared with those with candidiasis, aspergillosis, mucormycosis, and tuberculosis, and healthy volunteers

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0188860
Abstract: Background Diagnosis of pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) relies on microscopic visualization of P. jirovecii, or detection of Pneumocystis DNA in respiratory specimens, which involves invasive procedures such as bronchoalveolar lavage. The (1–3)-β-D-glucan (BG) assay has been… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/jof9030357
Abstract: Coinfection with invasive aspergillosis and mucormycosis in immunocompromised patients has been reported but is rarely confirmed by tissue histology or autopsy. Serum fungal biomarkers and culture are the primary diagnostic tools but are suboptimal for… read more here.
