“…9 The emergence of zygomycosis warrants further discussion, however Patient with liver or renal insufficiency are prone to C. krusei infections with Fluconazole showing high resistance. 12 There is a vast number of emerging fungal infections which needed to be mentioned but it is not feasible, anyway some them have been mentioned in the following texts. Gastrointestinal basidiobolomycosis is an emerging infection that leads to diagnostic confusion, morbidity and mortality.…”

The incidence of fungal infections is increasing at an alarming rate, presenting an enormous pressure and challenge to healthcare professionals for their diagnosis and treatment. Emerging fungal infections is also cause of significant morbidity and mortality. This emergence is directly related to the growing population of immunecompromised individuals. Patient with condition such as Granulocytopenia, advanced HIV infection, bone marrow and solid organ transplantation, cancer, diabetes mellitus, severe burn and trauma and severe malnutrition are among many others predisposing factor for low immunity. Demographics changes, Microbial adaptation and Technological advances are few factors which promote these emergences. Infection may be caused by various types of fungi such as yeast and mould including hyaline as well as dematiaceous mould. Populations which are not exposed to endemic fungi and are healthy may also are at risk by dimorphic fungi. Increase in surveillance, availability of rapid noninvasive diagnostic test, monitoring of development of resistance to antifungal agents, research on pathogenesis, prevention, and control of fungal infection are few steps we may put together to cope up with these emerging health problems.

The temporal trend and spatial distribution of reference evapotranspiration was investigated across Madagascar for the period of 1980-2010. Air temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, and wind speed were collected from 22 weather stations across the country and were used to estimate daily reference evapotranspiration (ET 0) by the Penman-Monteith equation. Monthly average daily ET 0 and the total annual ET 0 were estimated. The Mann-Kendall test was used for the temporal trend analysis in monthly average daily ET 0 and the total annual ET 0 and the Sen's method was used to estimate the rate of change in ET 0 during the study period. The spline interpolation method was used for spatial interpolation of the variation in annual and monthly average ET 0. The results showed southwest-north East trend in ET 0. Reference evapotranspiration was higher at the western semiarid region than the humid eastern region. ET 0 peaked during the period of September-October. Annual total ET 0 varied from 1,081 mm in Andapa at northeast to 2,239 mm in Antsohihy at northwestern coastal region. Overall, there was an increasing trend in annual total ET 0 ; however, the upward trend was significant only at 7 out of 22 weather station sites while monthly ET 0 did not show consistent trends. This is one of the first comprehensive studies that investigate spatial and temporal dynamics of ET 0 in Madagascar, which can aid in developing appropriate adaptation strategies to improve crop water use and evaporative losses estimates for maintaining or increasing food production while enhancing water use efficiency in the western semiarid regions of Madagascar.

Viral encephalitis has attracted the attention of researchers and physicians for millennia. In almost all cases, specific causes of central nervous system (CNS) syndromes of viral origin have been difficult and sometime impossible to identify. Immunological mechanisms involved in viral encephalitis are also diverse and complex which greatly limit the advent of modern antiviral therapies against viral encephalitis. This review will focus on the immunopathogenesis of viral encephalitis. Although a considerable emphasis will be placed on Japanese encephalitis, other viral infections of the CNS will be discussed. Role of Treg and Th17 cells, their plasticity and balance in viral encephalitis will be discussed with great details.

Prevalence of yeast fungal infections in intensive care unit in Poland

Abstract: Background: Nearly 2% of hospital intensive care unit patients are at risk of developing life threatening fungal infections. High mortality rates indicate that identification of disease causing organisms and choice of adequate medications are crucial in the therapeutic process.
