Diabetes mellitus is one of the main risk factors of fungal infections of oral cavity, lower part of gastrointestinal tract, skin, foot, urogenital system and blood. Mycosis is a serious diagnostic and therapeutic problem and cause of mortality in diabetes. Fungal infections are also an important problem among hemodialysis patients with diabetes or diabetic patients after pancreas or kidney transplantation This work briefly describes the etiology, symptoms, diagnosis and ways of prophylaxis and treatment of mycosis in diabetic population. There is also emphasized the great connection between effective treatment of mycosis and glycemic control.

Utilizing Targeted Next-Generation Sequencing for Rapid, Accurate, and Cost-Effective Pathogen Detection in Lower Respiratory Tract Infections.
Infect Drug Resist
January 2025
Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, 430022, People's Republic of China.
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic performance and clinical impact of targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) in patients with suspected lower respiratory tract infections.
Methods: Following propensity score matching, we compared the diagnostic performances of tNGS and metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS). Furthermore, the diagnostic performance of tNGS was compared with that of culture, and its clinical impact was assessed.
Fungal Peritoneal Dialysis-Associated Peritonitis as a Silent Threat: The Critical Role of Early Diagnosis and Catheter Removal.

Background: may cause fatal infections in immunocompromised patients. This is the first case report of invasive infection at an academic-tertiary care center in Palestine.
Case Presentation: We report a 36-year-old woman who presented with fever and severe neutropenia and was found to have AML/Non M3.
Nanotechnology-based approaches for targeted drug delivery for the treatment of respiratory tract infections.
J Biol Methods
October 2024
Department of Biochemistry, Sismanogleio Hospital, Athens 15126, Greece.
Background: Nanotechnology has emerged as a promising field for the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of respiratory tract infections (RTIs). By leveraging the unique properties of nanoscale delivery systems, nanotechnology can significantly enhance the selectivity and efficacy of antimicrobials, thereby reducing off-target effects.
Objective: This review explores the development and application of targeted nanosystems in combating viral, bacterial, and fungal RTIs.
Fungal Disease Response Centre: Pioneering Diagnostic Approach for Regions With Dispersed Hospital Centres.
Mycoses
January 2025
Laboratorio de Micología y Diagnóstico Molecular-Cátedra de Parasitología y Micología-Bioquímica, Universidad Nacional del Litoral, Santa Fe, Argentina.
Background: Access to fungal disease diagnosis is crucial for reducing mortality, yet it varies widely across Argentina, especially outside Buenos Aires. In regions like Santa Fe and Paraná, where most healthcare facilities are under 150 beds, maintaining specialised mycology labs is challenging.
Objectives: This work describes the establishment and first-year results of a centralised Fungal Disease Response Centre (FDRC) and referral network serving this region, covering approximately 1 million inhabitants.
