Lung fungal infection is a critical health problem, particularly in immunocompromised patients suffering from lung cancer, cystic fibrosis, HIV infection, etc. Due to rapid blood turnover in lungs, conventional drug delivery systems do not offer persistent blood level of drug in the lungs, causing ...

Fungal infection, also known as a mycosis, refers to the invasion of a host's tissue by specific types of fungi. Mycoses often start in the lungs following inhalation of fungal spores or on the skin due to localized colonization. Latest Research and Reviews ...
The treatments used to manage Candida infections vary substantially and are based on the anatomic location of the infection, the patients' underlying disease and immune status, the patients' risk factors for infection, the specific species of Candida responsible for infection, and, in some cases, ...
Although almost every organ can be affected by Aspergillus spp., the lungs are the most common site of infection. Aspergillus fumigatus is the most frequently isolated species in IA (80%–90%), while in the last decade, there has been a trend for an increasing incidence of nonfumigatus spec...

In the diagram, spores of the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus enter the lungs by the airways and grow within hours to contaminate the alveoli and impair breathing. Infection is fatal if it cannot be eliminated, as in immunocompromised patients. GAG is galactosaminogalactan, an integral component of ...
cryptococcosis- a fungal infection characterized by nodular lesions--first in the lungs and spreading to the nervous system monilia disease,moniliasis- an infection caused by fungi of the genus Monilia or Candida (especially Candida albicans)

In addition, cancer patients may develop endemic fungal infections to which immunocompetent hosts are also susceptible, such as coccidioidomycosis or histoplasmosis. Effects of Cancer Treatment on Immune Response to Fungal Infection Cancer therapy is constantly changing. Traditional modalities, such as ...
