Fungi can exist as filamentous/mould or yeast form, both forms are able to cause infections in human host. Dimorphic fungi, that is, Histoplasma capsulatum also exist and can grow as a filamentous form at room temperature and yeast at body temperature. Fungi can infect any part of the ...
Fungi are responsible for a wide spectrum of diseases in humans, ranging from acute, self-limiting pulmonary manifestations and superficial infections in immunocompetent hosts to life-threatening invasive infections, especially among immunocompro- mised or hospitalized individuals with serious underlying ...
Fungal infections remain a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in renal transplant recipients. Fungal colonization is associated with use of broad spectrum antibacterial agents, pre-transplant and post-transplant immunosuppressive therapy. In the post-transplant period, differentiating between fungal ...
Most fungal infections aren't like other infectious diseases, in that someone infected with one usually can't give it to someone else. That's because most fungal infections tend to only infect people with specific risk factors—such as people withweak immune systems. Fungal infections tend also ...

Invasive fungal infections are important causes of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised children. The past two decades have seen a dramatic increase in both number and overall relevance of invasive fungal infections in the hospital. At the same time, however, improved microbiological and imaging...
I am a neurobiologist who has been studying fungal infections of the brain for 10 years. I was part of a team that recentlypublished a reviewdiscussing the emergence, and re-emergence, of fungal infections in Africa, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. We conclude that Africa is suffering from...
