Candidiasis is the most common fungal infection in immunocompromised patients who are at greater risk for developing disseminated disease. Renal transplant recipients often are administered immunosuppressants and therefore are at an increased risk for developing disseminated candidal infections. Disseminated candidiasis generally does not present with cutaneous lesions, but when present, lesions usually are generalized or limited to the trunk and limbs. We describe the case of an immunosuppressed renal transplant recipient who developed a disseminated Candida kefyr infection and presented with oral mucosal lesions and cutaneous lesions limited to the left lower extremity. The lesions were localized due to a thrombus that was subsequently found in the patient's left external iliac artery.

Invasive fungal diseases are an important public health concern due to an increase in the at-risk population and high mortality associated with these infections. Managing invasive fungal infections poses a significant challenge given the limited antifungal options and the emergence of resistance in key fungal pathogens. Through a comprehensive approach, we evaluated the in vitro antifungal activity and the in vivo efficacy of two novel lipopeptides, AF and AF in murine models of disseminated candidiasis, cryptococcosis, and aspergillosis.

Background: Infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We assessed the incidence and risk factors for major infections in juvenile SLE.
Methods: A retrospective review of 225 patients of juvenile SLE (ACR 1997 criteria) with age <18 years visiting the rheumatology clinic at a single centre between 2000 to 2020 was done from case records and the hospital electronic health records.

is an emerging multidrug-resistant opportunistic pathogen that causes candidiasis, superficial infections on the mucosa, nails or skin, and life-threatening candidemia in deep tissue when disseminated through the bloodstream. Recently, there has been a sharp rise in resistant strains, posing a considerable clinical challenge for the treatment of candidiasis. There has been a resurged interest in the pharmacological properties of essential oils and their active components, for example, monoterpenes with alcohol (-OH) and aldehyde (-CHO) groups.
