Proceedings of the second international meeting on endemic mycoses of the Americas (IMEMA) and first international symposium on implantation mycoses (ISIM).

The second international meeting on endemic mycoses of the Americas (IMEMA) and the first international symposium on implantation mycoses (ISIM) took place in Santiago del Estero, Argentina, on September 25-27, 2023. The conference provided a platform for researchers, clinicians, and experts to discuss the latest developments in the field of endemic and implantation mycoses. Topics included epidemiology, diagnostic advances, treatment strategies, and the impact of environmental factors on the spread of these fungal diseases.

Evaluation of an enzyme immunoassay technique on detecting urinary Histoplasma capsulatum antigen in the diagnosis of disseminated histoplasmosis in Argentina.

Introduction: Histoplasmosis is a systemic mycosis of universal distribution, highly endemic in the Americas. It is caused by a dimorphic fungus Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum.

[Clinical problems in Medical Mycology: Problem number 56].

We present the case of a twenty six year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis, treated with certolizumab. She sought medical attention due to cough, fever and night sweats. X-ray exam showed a miliary pneumonia.

Trends in the molecular epidemiology and population genetics of emerging species.

() comprises species that are pathogenic to humans and other mammals as well as environmental fungi. Developments in molecular phylogeny have changed our perceptions about the epidemiology, host-association, and virulence of . The classical agent of sporotrichosis, , now comprises several species nested in a clinical clade with , , and .
