New Diagnostic Strategies for Fungal Infections Luis Ostrosky-Zeichner, MD John H. Rex, MD http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/442221 San Diego, Saturday, September 28, 2002 Medical mycology has faced an enormous obstacle for decades: timely and accurate diagnosis of invasive fungal infections. These infections are difficult to diagnose because cultures are often negative, or they become positive late in the disease. If a culture is positive, accurate identification of the organism is laborious and time-consuming, relying on macroscopic and microscopic morphologic characteristics, biochemical tests, and serotyping. Physicians and microbiologists have recognized these limitations and have been intensively developing alternative diagnostic methods for decades. Some of these have been very successful, such as the cryptococcal and histoplasma antigen detection methods, which have become diagnostic standards due to their availability and diagnostic performance.

FUNGAL INFECTIONS WHAT IS A FUNGAL INFECTION? Fungal infections are caused by Fungi. Fungi are widespread in our environment and come from spore bearing plants that have no chlorophyll. They are commonly known as mold, mildew, and yeast. Because fungus is so prevalent, it is inevitable that a certain amount of fungi gets inhaled into the lungs or lands on the skin. Fungus grows very rapidly in moist, dark places with little ventilation. A fungal infection occurs when fungi multiply and become inflamed. This can happen internally in the organs or on the outer layer of the skin and nails. Fungal infections of the skin are often called ringworm or tinea. Microscopic fungi, called dermatophytes, thrive on dead tissue such as the outer layer of the skin and nails. The most common types of Fungal Infections of the skin and nails are: along the beard and jawline occurs on the neck and scalp occurs on various parts of the body, such as the arms, shoulders and face

Subject: bacterial and fungal infections Topic Area: Skin Infections Forum: The Dermatology Forum Question Posted By: Victoria on Friday, April 28, 2000 Hello Doctor Can you tell me what is the best way to treat bacterial and fungal infections? are there any good over the counter drugs that work? I heard that tea tree oil works but I don't think it's good enough. Please advise. Thanks in advance. Answer Posted By: Derm M.D. ASR on Sunday, April 30, 2000 Victoria: The short answer to our question is this: There are many good over-the-counter medications for fungal infections. These include clotrimazole and terbinafine. Just ask your pharmacist. As for bacteria, you can get bacitracin or neosporin without a prescription. These are less effective, but perhpas worth a try. I agree that tea tree oil probably does not have enough antimicrobial power to do the job.

88. Nail Fungal Infections (Onychomycosis) Nail fungal infections deserve special mention. Why?......SFSU STUDENT HEALTH SERVICE Nail fungal infections (Onychomycosis). http://www.sfsu.edu/~shs/skinclinic/nail.htm

SFSU STUDENT HEALTH SERVICE Nail Fungal Infections (Onychomycosis) Home General Information Medical Services Preventive Medicine ... h Description: Nail fungal infections deserve special mention. Why? Because of their high prevalence (15-20%) and the relatively recent introduction of high-tech drugs which make the previously-untreatable treatable. Patients with early toenail infection notice white or yellow discoloration of the nail. As infection progresses the nail becomes brittle and debris begins to collect under the distal nail. Advanced infections usually demonstrate extreme thickening of the nail plate and some loss of nail adhesion, making it easy for the nail to snag and come off, sometimes painfully so. When infection of the fingernail(s) occurs, the nail usually takes on a moth-eaten appearance. Diagnosis: Other disorders like psoriasis and eczema can cause nail changes that mimic fungal infection, so it is recommended that the fungal cause be confirmed by examining some nail scrapings under the microscope or by plating them on special culture media. Causes: Nail infections are caused by several types of fungi though most are caused by a specific skin fungus (dermatophyte) known as T. rubrum. This is the same organism that causes most athlete's foot, which is discussed separately. Studies show a surprising genetic susceptibility to this infection. If a parent has toenail fungus, then you may get it given the right circumstances.

Fungal Infections of Man Here will be a consideration of fungal species commonly associated with infections in humans While fungi are ubiquitous in nature,they are primarily involved in degradation of organic waste material and very few cause human disease (other areas of importance are in food and drug technology). Representative fungal organisms of medical importance in human disease to be considered here are: Candida albicans (skin infections, enteritis, vaginitis, thrush, systemic disease) Cryptococcus neoformans (meningitis, pulnonary and disseminated disease, skin, bone lesions) Blastomyces dermatitidis (chronic granulomatous and suppurative disease; mutiple organs systems may be affected) Microsporum canis, Microsporum gypsum (Tinea Capitis, Tinea Corporis, Tinea Barbae) General features of Fungi Before one can discuss these organisms, it is important to understand that fungi are eucaryoytes and therefore differ from the procaryotic bacteria in size ,structural organization, life cycle and modes of multiplication. Their complexity of organization and variety of modes of reproduction helps one to differentiate among them on the basis of morphological features and therefore microscopic observations as well as cultural characteristics is an important part of their identification protocol.

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.

Candida albicans (genome size : 16 Mb, 6000 genes) Infections of the mucous membranes This fungus is responsible for the fungal infections that most frequently occur in humans . These infections usually affect the mucous membranes and may develop into fatal systemic infections in immunodepressed people. Oral and oesophageal candidosis are frequent in people infected with the AIDS virus. There are few medications against these infections and their effectiveness is limited. The study of this fungus' genome should eventually enable this lack to be overcome through the discovery of new therapeutic approaches. The complete sequencing of the Candida albicans genome is close to being completed at Stanford University C. albicans * genome, in collaboration with the Yeast molecular Genetics Units and one of the INRA's laboratories: available since March 2000, these tools enable the simultaneous analysis of the expression of around 2000 genes . In particular, they have allowed the Institut Pasteur's team, in collaboration with the University of Aberdeen and the INRA, to identify a certain number of genes that may be specific to the filamentary form of C. albicans

Nurse Prescribers' Formulary Drugs used in fungal infections POLYENE ANTIFUNGALS . The polyene antifungals include amphotericin and nystatin; neither drug is absorbed when given by mouth. They are used for oral, oropharyngeal, and perioral infections by local application in the mouth ( section 12.3.2 Amphotericin by intravenous infusion is used for the treatment of systemic fungal infections and is active against most fungi and yeasts. It is highly protein bound and penetrates poorly into body fluids and tissues. When given parenterally amphotericin is toxic and side-effects are common. Lipid formulations of amphotericin ( Abelcet AmBisome , and Amphocil ) are significantly less toxic and are recommended when the conventional formulation of amphotericin is contra-indicated because of toxicity, especially nephrotoxicity; lipid formulations are more expensive. Nystatin is used principally for Candida albicans infections of the skin and mucous membranes, including oesophageal and intestinal candidiasis.

This is part of the dark side of advances in medical technology: Yeast and mold infections that can invade the blood stream via a contaminated catheter or simply by breathing the air around you. The rate of invasive aspergillosis, which is caused by a fungus called Aspergillus, is 5 percent to more than 20 percent in high-risk groups, including people with compromised immune systems, such as HIV patients, cancer patients and organ transplant recipients. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Aspergillus is found throughout the environment in soil, decomposing plant matter, household dust, building materials and ornamental plants, as well as food and water. "It's like bread mold. You will see it in the shower or eating in your house or in your refrigerator. We all breathe it in," says Dr. Thomas Patterson, a professor of medicine at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.
