Abstract Paracoccidioidomycosis is an endemic disease in Latin America that is rarely associated with immunosuppression and biological therapy. Herein, we report for the first time a case of pulmonary paracoccidioidomycosis reactivation after infliximab treatment. A 47-year-old man from Brazil received i...
Pulmonary mycoses are invasive fungal infections that occur more and more frequently. The rising number of patients with immunodeficiencies, HIV infection, hematopoietic stem cell and solid organ transplant recipients, as well as the use of immunosuppressive therapies have increased the incidence of this...
To avoid the abuse and misuse of antibiotics, procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) have been used as new approaches to identify different types of infection. Multiple databases were adopted to search relevant studies, and the articles that satisfied the inclusion criteria were included. Meta-...

Background: The coexistance among fungal pathogens and tuberculosis pulmonary is a clinical condition that generally occurs in immunosuppressive patients, however, immunocompetent patients may have this condition less frequently. Objective: We report the case of an immunocompetent patient diagnosed with ...

A colonização intracavitária pulmonar aspergilar (CIPA) é caracterizada pela presença de massa miceliana de crescimento endocavitário. O agente mais frequente é o Aspergillus fumigatus, e a lesão cavitária é geralmente sequela de tuberculose e curada com história de hemoptise de repetição e ...
Foram revistos 10 casos de criptococose com envolvimento pulmonar. Os sintomas principais foram tosse seca, febre e dor torácica. Em dois pacientes, o diagnóstico foi feito por achado radiológico de cadastro torácico e, em outros três, por achados de necrópsia. Havia lesäo neurológica associada e...
