Molecular Identification and Antifungal Susceptibility of Fusarium spp. Clinical Isolates.

Background: Accurate identification of Fusarium species requires molecular identification. Treating fusariosis is challenging due to widespread antifungal resistance, high rates of treatment failure, and insufficient information relating antifungal susceptibility to the clinical outcome. Despite recent outbreaks in Mexico, there is limited information on epidemiology and antifungal susceptibility testing (AST).

Coccidioidomycosis in Immunocompromised at a Non-Endemic Referral Center in Mexico.

The incidence and distribution of coccidioidomycosis are increasing. Information scarcity is evident in Mexico, particularly in non-endemic zones and specific populations. We compared the treatment and outcomes for patients with isolated pulmonary infections and those with disseminated coccidioidomycosis, including mortality rates within six weeks of diagnosis.

Histoplasmosis Beyond Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV): Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes in a Non-HIV Population.

Histoplasmosis is an endemic and invasive mycosis caused by . We conducted a retrospective study comparing immunosuppressed patients without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) with a historical cohort of people with HIV and histoplasmosis. We included 199 patients with proven or probable histoplasmosis, of which 25.

Risk Factors Associated with the Development of Hospital-Acquired Infections in Hospitalized Patients with Severe COVID-19.

Recognition of risk factors for hospital-acquired infections (HAI) in patients with COVID-19 is warranted. We aimed to describe factors associated with the development of HAI in patients with severe COVID-19. We conducted a retrospective cohort study including all adult patients admitted with severe COVID-19 between March 2020 and November 2020.
