We report the first case of disseminated infection by Gymnascella hyalinospora in a solid organ transplant recipient. This case highlights the role of low-virulence environmental molds as an emerging cause of breakthrough invasive fungal infection in immunocompromised hosts. Nosocomial strategies of infection control including antimicrobial stewardship and advances on fast diagnostic methods are strongly encouraged to improve patient prognosis.

The appearance of antiviral therapy has led to a change in the prognosis and clinical manifestations of patients with human immunodeficiency virus infections and Kaposi's sarcoma. However, there are still countries in which access is inadequate and the disease progresses toward disseminated forms with an unfavorable outcome. We present two patients who presented with skin lesions that progressed for a month, compatible with disseminated Kaposi's sarcoma in the context of HIV.

Background: The global dissemination of carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKp) poses a critical threat to public health. However, comprehensive data on the prevalence and resistance rates of CR-hvKp are limited. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to estimate the pooled prevalence of carbapenem resistance among hvKp strains and assess the distribution of carbapenemase genes.
