Fungal rhinosinusal infections comprise several nosological entities, including sinus fungus ball. Diagnosis of sinus fungus ball relies on patient interrogation and clinical and paraclinical findings. Mold species commonly involved include Aspergillus, as well as dematiaceous fungi.

- The text discusses a case of human cutaneous leishmaniasis in a 76-year-old woman from Marseille, highlighting the protozoan parasite's transmission by sand flies and its prevalence in the area.
- The study involved examining 718 dogs for signs of leishmaniasis, revealing a 5.1% seroprevalence, with five dogs showing moderate symptoms.
- Molecular analysis indicated a close relationship between strains from humans and dogs, emphasizing the need for ongoing surveillance of leishmaniasis in both animals and potential wildlife reservoirs.
Bed bug has become a major public health pest worldwide. Infestation may result in numerous negative health effects. Homeless shelters are one of the most habitats that can be infested with bed bugs, a few studies have focused on bed bug infestations in these settings.

Even though considerable research is being produced in medical entomology, no reports on patient management in clinical entomology units are available in the literature.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively surveyed all the records from patients having consulted in our outpatient clinical entomology unit in Nice University Hospital from 2012 to 2020.
Article Synopsis
- A study found that patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection in the ICU had a higher occurrence of invasive fungal infections, but the effect on airway colonization by fungi wasn't previously evaluated.
- Researchers analyzed respiratory samples from 2018 to 2022 and conducted a case-control study with 300 patients comparing those with airway colonization to controls.
- Key factors linked to increased airway colonization included diabetes, mechanical ventilation, hospital stay length, and antibacterial use, while the direct relationship with SARS-CoV-2 was likely influenced by these confounding factors.
