Human tissue distribution of caspofungin

Jana Marx et al.

Summary: Tissue concentrations of caspofungin were highest in liver, spleen, kidney and lung, while lowest in brain. Most patients had drug concentrations in tissues exceeding the minimum inhibitory concentration values of pathogenic Candida spp. during treatment.

A. Serris et al.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed 119 cases of cerebral aspergillosis and identified two distinct disease patterns, hematogenous dissemination and contiguous dissemination, based on the route of spread. Hematogenous dissemination was associated with impaired consciousness, multiple abscesses, and microangiopathy, while contiguous dissemination was associated with cranial nerve palsy and evidence of meningitis. Hematogenous dissemination, hematological malignancy, and detection of serum galactomannan were associated with higher six-week mortality.

Central nervous system candidiasis beyond neonates: Lessons from a nationwide study

Helene Chaussade et al.

Summary: Although candidiasis is the most common invasive fungal infection, Candida spp. central nervous system (CNS) infections are rare but severe. This retrospective study from France between January 2005 and December 2018 included 24 patients with proven or probable CNS candidiasis. The study found that CNS candidiasis can be either isolated or occur during disseminated infection, with varying clinical, radiological findings, and outcomes based on this classification.

Specificity Influences in (1→3)-β-d-Glucan-Supported Diagnosis of Invasive Fungal Disease

Malcolm A. Finkelman

Summary: (1 -> 3)-beta-glucan (BDG) testing has been used as an adjunct in the diagnosis of invasive fungal disease (IFD) for nearly three decades, showing high negative predictive value but potential false positives due to contamination and mucosal barrier injury. Understanding non-IFD causes of elevated circulating BDG, such as iatrogenic contamination and Nocardia sp. infection, can improve the planning and interpretation of BDG assays.

Clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment outcome of CNS aspergillosis: A systematic review of 235 cases

Durga Shankar Meena et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and therapeutic interventions in CNS aspergillosis patients and identified factors associated with poor outcomes in neuroaspergillosis. Disseminated disease, CSF hypoglycorrhachia, and heightened CSF galactomannan were linked to worse prognosis, while individuals infected with Aspergillus flavus and those treated with Voriconazole were more likely to survive. Further research is needed to determine the role of combination antifungal therapy.
