Background: Diagnosis of HIV-associated histoplasmosis remains challenging. Our objective was to compare the performances of (1→3)-β-D-Glucan (BDG) and Aspergillus galactomannan (GM) antigen for the diagnosis of HIV-associated histoplasmosis.
Methods: We performed a diagnostic accuracy study using frozen primary serum specimens issued from consecutive hospitalized people living with HIV (PLWH) and blindly tested for BDG and GM using Fungitell® and PlateliaTM Aspergillus, respectively.
is a recently reported yeast causing rare cases of fungemia. This species presents high minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) to fluconazole and echinocandins. We report an atypical metacarpophalangeal osteo-articular infection in a patient with Chronic Granulomatous Disease.

Methods: A retrospective medical record review was conducted at 16 sites in Europe (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom). Eligible records were from patients aged ≥ 18 years at the time of isavuconazole initiation and received at least one dose of isavuconazole for suspected or confirmed invasive aspergillosis (IA) or invasive mucormycosis (IM) during the eligibility period (October 15, 2015 to June 30, 2019).
Article Synopsis
- The European Union includes 30 outermost and overseas countries and territories (OCTs), where renal transplantation is growing, but many patients still seek treatment in continental Europe, necessitating collaborative care.
- Each OCT has its own infectious disease patterns, which are crucial for ensuring effective post-transplant care for kidney transplant recipients (KTRs).
- The paper suggests a practical approach to enhance pre-transplant evaluations and provides region-specific epidemiological data, advocating for more collaborative research among the OCTs to improve care for infected KTRs.
