Cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii meningitis in Egypt: a case report.
Cryptococcus neoformans is an encapsulated yeast ubiquitous in nature which, when it infects humans, typically causes pulmonary disease and occasionally meningitis [1]. Serotyping of the organism has identified 3 main varieties: C. neoformans var. grubii (serotype A), C. neoformans var. neoformans (serotype D) and C. neoformans var. gattii (serotypes B and C) [2]. Serotypes A and D have been is...
متن کاملComparative genomics of Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii associated with meningitis in HIV infected and uninfected patients in Vietnam
The vast burden of cryptococcal meningitis occurs in immunosuppressed patients, driven by HIV, and is caused by Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii. We previously reported cryptococcal meningitis in Vietnam arising atypically in HIV uninfected, apparently immunocompetent patients, caused by a single amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) cluster of C. neoformans var. grubii (VNIγ). This ...
متن کاملA Rare Case of Primary Supraclavicular Lymphadenitis due to Cryptococcus Neoformans in an HIV Infected Patient.
Cryptococcosis caused by encapsulated yeast Cryptococcus neoformans most commonly presents as disease of the central nervous system. Cryptococcus is a non-mycelial budding yeast found in soil, pigeon droppings and their nesting places. The three 'classic' virulence factors of cryptococci are: polysaccharide capsule, melanin production and growth at 37°C. Here, we present a rare case of cryptoco...
متن کاملThe Cryptococcus neoformans Transcriptome at the Site of Human Meningitis
UNLABELLED Cryptococcus neoformans is the leading cause of fungal meningitis worldwide. Previous studies have characterized the cryptococcal transcriptome under various stress conditions, but a comprehensive profile of the C. neoformans transcriptome in the human host has not been attempted. Here, we extracted RNA from yeast cells taken directly from the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of two AIDS pa...
متن کاملکریپتوکوکوس و کریپتوکوکوزیس: یافته های جدید راجع به پاتوژنز، تشخیص و استراتژی های درمانی در افراد با عفونت HIV
Cryptococcosis is a serious fungal infection in both huaman and animals caused by members of the Cryptococcus neoformans/ Cryptococcus gattii species complex. The main route of entry is respiratory tract. Meningitis is the most common clinical manifestation of cryptococcosis in immunocompromised patients and considered as one of AIDS defining illnesses. The known natural sources of the fungus...
