“…1 The number of reports of fungal infections in immunocompromised patients as well as in immunocompetent patients has been increasing. 3 Our case had no triggers for infection, such as agricultural work or gardening interests. In our case, the local immunocompromise caused by topical corticosteroid and tacrolimus treatment and her history of acute lymphoblastic leukemia may have contributed to the fungal infection.…”

Didymellaceae is a family of fungal species belonging to the order Pleosporales of coelomycetous fungi. 1 Human infections by coelomycetous fungi are rare and poorly characterized. 1 A 35-year-old Japanese woman was referred from the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of our hospital due to erythematous plaques on her nose that had developed within the past month. She had a history of acute lymphoblastic leukemia

“…As a result, we reviewed 228 published reports. We identified and included 149 reports on 201 cases of dematiaceous fungal infections in SOT recipients 21–169 . The majority (134/149; 90%) of included reports scored ≥ 2 of three possible points on our bias assessment (Table S4).…”

Background: Dematiaceous fungi cause a number of infectious syndromes referred to as phaeohyphomycosis among both immunocompetent and immunocompromised hosts. We performed a systematic review to characterize these infections in solid organ transplant recipients (SOTR). Methods:We searched PubMed database (last searched 1/6/2022) for Englishlanguage reports on dematiaceous fungal infections in SOTR. Included reports needed individualized demographic, treatment, and outcome data; pediatric reports were excluded. A universally applicable bias assessment was performed on reports. Models for infection type and outcome were created using the Bayesian paradigm. Results:We included 149 reports on 201 cases of dematiaceous fungal infections in SOTR. The mean age was 54 years, 72% were men, and kidney recipients accounted for 61% of cases. Skin and soft tissue infection (SSTI) was the most common infectious syndrome (73%). Death from infection occurred in 7% of cases (14/201), with disseminated (32%) cases having the highest mortality. Our model for infection type predicted the relative probability of central nervous system infection to be highest in liver recipients. Across all transplant types, higher relative probabilities of disseminated and pulmonary infections occur in the early post-transplant period, and the predicted probabilities for these infection types decreased after 100 months post-transplantation.Discussion: We identified SSTI as the most common dematiaceous fungal infections in SOTR. Disseminated infections carried the worst prognosis. The evidence in this review is limited by the heterogeneity of included cases. No funding source was used, and this review's protocol was not registered.

“…Diet: the excessive intake of fresh fruits, sweets, or other fermentable substances results in a considerable increase in the number of intestinal yeasts, particularly C. albicans, related to the pH decrease resulting from intestinal and oral fermentation. 20,21 The normal skin can also present flora of resident yeasts, such as C. parapsilosis, C. guillermondii, and C. krusei. Other species, such as C. albicans and C. tropicalis, are not regularly found in normal skin, except in the anogenital region and around the mouth, as in the corners of the lips.…”

Los tratamientos para el control del cáncer están encaminados a prolongar la sobrevida del paciente, pero al mismo tiempo desencadenan efectos inevitables e irreversibles, así como infecciosos, los cuales complican el pronóstico de la enfermedad oncológica. Dentro de estos últimos se encuentra la conducta patógena de Candida, cuya especie más común en la mucosa oral es albicans, considerada un hongo comensal que, a consecuencia de la neutropenia resultante de las terapias antineoplásicas, se comporta como oportunista y causa candidiasis. Esta infección fúngica tiene factores agravantes e inherentes al paciente, como la xerostomía y la hiposalivación, infecciones como la caries dental, y otros factores como la incorrecta higiene bucal. Diversos autores consultados resaltan la presencia de Candida, sus diferentes especies y la candidiasis bucal como microorganismo e infección clásica oportunista en pacientes inmunosuprimidos, y aún más en aquellos sometidos a tratamientos antineoplásicos. El objetivo de la presente revisión consiste en describir el comportamiento patógeno de Candida en la mucosa bucal de pacientes bajo tratamientos antineoplásicos.
