ABSTRACT Background Chronic granulomatous disease is a rare disorder in which the phagocytes fail to produce hydrogen peroxide. The patients are predisposed to bacterial and fungal infections. Prophylactic antibiotics and interferon gamma have reduced bacterial infections, but there is also the danger of life-threatening fungal infections. We assessed the efficacy of itraconazole as prophylaxis against serious fungal infections in chronic granulomatous disease. Methods Thirty-nine patients at least 5 years old (6 female and 33 male; mean age, 14.9 years) were enrolled in a randomized

Virtual Patient Reference Library Opportunistic Infections page Introduction Pneumocystis Pneumonia Toxoplasmosis Mycobacterium avium ... Bacterial Infections last update October 2002 Fungal infections Candida commonly causes mucocutaneous manifestations in HIV, such as thrush, esophagitis, and vaginitis. Mucocutaneous candidiasis rarely becomes invasive and does not need primary prophylaxis.
Prophylaxis with fluconazole does decrease the incidence of invasive fungal disease, particularly cryptococcocis. Invasive disease occurs primarily at CD4 counts below 75 cells/mm
Primary prophylaxis is not recommended because the two-year incidence of invasive disease with these fungi (cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis) is relatively low ( <10%), the medication is expensive, and therapy can select out resistant infection with Candida species and torulopsis yeasts. There is a standard recommendation for secondary prophylaxis, or maintenance therapy, once a patient has had invasive fungal disease.

E-MAIL: jdowner1@jhmi.edu Heart Drug Might Help Fight Chronic Fungal Infections Johns Hopkins scientists have determined why a drug routinely used to treat heart arrhythmias might become a crucial addition to fighting chronic fungal infections, they report online in the Journal of Biological Chemistry. Last year, scientists elsewhere noted the drug's ability to kill fungi. Now, a Johns Hopkins research team has found that amiodarone kills by disrupting cells' interior and exterior calcium balance. Importantly, this is completely different from the way in which commonly used antifungal agents miconazole and fluconazole stop fungal growth, say the researchers. In their experiments, a combination of amiodarone and either of the "azoles" killed dramatically more fungi than expected. "This antiarrhythmic drug, in low doses, combined with azoles looks very promising in the lab and appears to be worth taking a look at clinically," says Rajini Rao, Ph.D., associate professor of physiology in the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine's Institute for Basic Biomedical Sciences. "The azoles prevent fungi from growing, but but doesn't kill all of them the immune system is supposed to do that. Amiodarone kills them instead of keeping them dormant." While fungal infections in general are easy to get rid of, in patients with depressed immune systems or with conditions like cystic fibrosis that increase susceptibility to chronic or recurring fungal infections, prolonged use of azoles can lead to the fungus becoming resistant to treatment. Finding a way to treat severe and life-threatening fungal infections with an option that boosts the effects of azoles without relying on the strength of the immune system is attractive, says Rao, who studies how calcium is brought into cells.

USE OF LUFENURON FOR TREATING FUNGAL INFECTIONS OF DOGS AND CATS: A SUMMARY OF 297 CLINICAL CASES (1997-1999) Y. Ben Ziony and B. Arzi Ben Ziony Animal Hospital, Kiryat Tivon, Israel Lufenuron (PROGRAM TM ) is an orally administered flea control drug, which acts by inhibiting chitin, liqueflies the eggshell, and so prevents flea multiplication. Fungal cells are also surrounded by a cell wall composed of complex polysaccharides, primarily chitin. Medical records of 138 dogs and 159 cats with dermatophytosis or superficial dermatomycosis and treated with lufenuron, are reviewed. Sixty untreated dermatophytic animals are included as controls. Fungal cultures and direct microscopic identification were performed. The cats were given 51.2 to 266 mg lufenuron/Kg. B.W. The dogs received 54.2 to 68.3 mg. Lufenuron/Kg.B.W. Recovery in cats was extremely rapid: hair started to grow after 5 or 6 days of treatment. The mean clinical recovery time was 11.6 days, while the mean mycological cure time was 8.3 days. In dogs, mean clinical recovery time was 21 days, and mycological cure time in 14.5 days. Negative fungal cultures always preceeded clinical recovery. No side effects or toxicity were encountered. Blood profiles remained unchanged. Untreated control animals recovered spontaneously in 90 days. Treatment aims are to reduce transmission to others and eradicate infection.

Mucormycosis and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy The term "mucormycosis" refers to fungal infections caused by the order Mucorales (of the class phycomycetes.) Within the mucorales order are 4 fungi that are clinically important and cannot be distinguished by histopathologic exam alone. They are Absida, Mucor, Rhizomucor, and Rhizopus. These fungi are saprophytic which means they derive energy by breaking down dead organic matter. The phycomycetes are distributed worldwide. This ubiquitous fungus is commonly found in bread and fruit molds, soil, manure, and insects. The potential for infection occurs when spores become airborne and are drawn into the sinuses, ingested with foods or inoculated into traumatized tissue as a soil contaminate. When infection occurs it is opportunistic in nature. This disease is rarely found in patients with no predisposing condition. The presence of systemic or local acidosis is an important risk factor for infection, no matter what causes the acidosis. Several different locations for infection have been described. The rhinocerebral type, which involves various combinations of the sinuses, orbit, and brain, is the most common. Less commonly there may be involvement of the gastrointestinal tract, pulmonary system, or burned or traumatized skin. Pulmonary, gastrointestinal or dermal infections frequently metastasize via the blood stream and spread to the central nervous system. Airborne fungal spores commonly land in the oral and nasal mucosa where they are normally contained by a phagocytic response. In host compromised patients, however, this initial containment may fail, in which case germination ensues and hyphae develop. Hyphae have a prediction for blood vessels. The subintima of local arterioles and arteries are invaded causing mechanical and toxic damage to the intima, which allows for gross invasion of the vessel lumen with subsequent thrombosis, hypoxia, acidosis and hematogenous spread. Hypoxia inhibition of phagocytosis and the local acidosis further enhance fungal growth. The infection typically spreads to the paranasal sinuses and can enter the orbit via the ethmoid and maxillary sinuses. Spread to the brain may occur via the orbital apex, orbital vessels, or via the cribiform plate.

Once rare, systemic fungal infections are becoming increasingly common in hospital settings. Patients most at risk include transplant and chemotherapy patients, HIV patients, elderly patients and patients with compromised immune systems. Some of the most common blood-borne fungal infections are aspergillosis, candidiasis and cryptococcosis. Fortunately, many systemic fungal infections can be effectively treated with currently available therapeutics.

Nederlands Diseases Fungal infections Occasionally, however, this peaceful coexistence goes wrong and a harmless fungal inhabitant becomes troublesome. We distinguish between fungal infections of the body surfaces and systemic fungal infections (which affect the whole body or an organ). Fungal infections of body surfaces
Onychomycosis, for instance, affects 1 to 3% of the population, and is characterised by discoloration and thickening of the nail and detachment of the nail plate from the nail bed. Toenails, which are frequently the primary site of infection, are often thick, yellow and brittle, and debris accumulates under the nail. Systemic fungal infections Although systemic fungal infections are relatively rare, their incidence has risen during the past 20 years. This is because of increases in the number of people with diminished or impaired immunity. Immune defences are reduced during certain hospital treatments, such as chemotherapy for cancer, and in some diseases, such as HIV infection.

Fungi cause fungal infections. These fungi surround us and frequently land on our skin and are inhaled into our lungs . Many fungi are harmless, some cause minor and irritating infections , while a few can cause much more severe infections. People with compromised immune systems , such as AIDS and cancer patients, may be more susceptible to fungal infections than others. Would you like to use this material on your law firm web site?

Fungal Infections
Skin fungi live in the dead, top layer of skin cells in moist areas of the body, such as between the toes, groin, and diaper area. Some fungal infections cause only a small amount of irritation. Other types of fungal infections penetrate deeper and may cause itching, swelling, blistering, and scaling. In some cases, fungal infections can cause reactions elsewhere on the body. For example, a child may develop a rash on the finger or hand associated with an infection of the scalp or foot. There are many different types of fungal skin infections that require clinical care by a physician or other healthcare professional. Listed in the directory below are some, for which we have provided a brief overview.

But as our biological knowledge expanded, it became increasingly difficult to rationally place some living things into either kingdom. Now most biologists recognise five kingdoms; plants, animals, fungi and two others. Discover their names and read summaries of the main characteristics of all five at Five Kingdom Classification System Fungi, which include yeasts, moulds, smuts and mushrooms, are responsible for causing four types of mycotic disease: 1.
