Invasive Mycoses Fungi have emerged over the past several decades as major contributors to human disease.(1, 2) As populations of immunocompromised and/or hospitalized patients continue to increase, so will the incidence of invasive fungal infections. A recent study reported that fungemia in the United States increased by 207% between 1979 and 2000.(3) Moreover, as the populations at risk for fungal infection continue to expand, so will the spectrum of pathogens capable of infecting those individuals

neoformans RNA could develop resistance for pulmonary cryptococcosis in murine model. Th1 cells producing IFN-ᵞ were increased and cells producing IL-4 were decreased in numbers in mice showing resistance to the disease [Fig (4)]. This indicates that the antifungal resistance is Th1 dependent. This suggests DCs can be a potential target for developing vaccines against fungal infections. Conclusion and future prospective: As it is well known that DCs play important role in developing immune response, they

Bacterial Vaginosis Last year I experience for the first time a bacterial vaginosis. It was horrible; a long month of intense itch, soreness and burning whenever I urinated or had intercourse.

The same fungus that is responsible for those dreaded vaginal yeast infections (candida) is the same fungus that is responsible for thrush. This yeast is a normal part

Fungal infections are becoming more noted among the population due to the unstable immune system. Technologies had been combined with studies to defect human immune systems in America. Cancer, fungal infections diseases are caused by an inability to manufacture enough immune responses to induce healthy blood circulation. People with infections have an issue with their immune defense system such as T-cytotoxic cells or T-helper cells. Their immune system cannot control the amount of bacteria infection

Nail fungus or onychomycosis is the whitening or yellowing of the nail that causes the nail to crumble or thicken at the edge as the fungus goes deeper into the nail. Nail fungus may also cause discoloration and can either occur in the finger or toe nails. Once a fungus is identified, it is recommended that nail fungus treatment be administered immediately. If the fungus is caught in the early stages, home remedies and over the counter drugs can be used; however, if the fungus is a prolonged condition
