Rational design of oral flubendazole-loaded nanoemulsion for brain delivery in cryptococcosis

Megumi Nishitani Yukuyama et al.

Summary: Cryptococcal meningitis caused by Cryptococcus predominantly affects AIDS patients. Concerns have risen due to an increasing number of non-HIV patients diagnosed with cryptococcosis worldwide. Current antifungal therapy limitations include availability, cost, toxicity, and the need for trained professionals, motivating the search for new orally administered, cost-effective drugs.

Cryptococcal meningoencephalitis: time for action

Katharine Elizabeth Stott et al.

Summary: Cryptococcal meningoencephalitis, a preventable and treatable fungal infection, has a high burden of disease in people living with HIV in low-income and middle-income countries. The world is now at a turning point in recognizing, researching, and taking action to address the morbidity and mortality from this disease, but there is a need to expand intervention programs with specific attention to implementation science in individual countries.
