We report a case of invasive mucormycosis in 52 year-old woman. CT-scan and magnetic resonance imaging found a partial right sinus thrombosis associated with homolateral ethmoidal and maxillary sinusitis with submucosal inflammation. Histopathological examination of excised tissue was positive for mucormycosis. Our patient was treated by surgical debridement and a combination of amphotericin B and caspofungin, with a good outcome.

Background: Mucormycosis, is a rare yet potentially life-threatening fungal infection common in immunocompromised patients. Despite optimal care, mucormycosis in haemato-oncological patients often results in poor outcomes. This case series details the presentations and unique challenges faced during the management of patients with acute myeloid leukemia who developed rhino-cerebral mucormycosis.

Background: Voriconazole, isavuconazole, and amphotericin (AmB) formulations are currently recommended to treat invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA). We aimed to estimate the efficacy of different antifungal drugs in the initial treatment of IPA.
Methods: We included all available randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating first-line treatments for IPA by searching PubMed, Medline, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and the ClinicalTrials.
Impact of Alkyl Spacer and Side Chain on Antimicrobial Activity of Monocationic and Dicationic Imidazolium Surface-Active Ionic Liquids: Experimental and Theoretical Insights.

December 2024
Faculty of Chemical Technology, Poznan University of Technology, Berdychowo 4, 60-965 Poznań, Poland.
This study investigates a series of surface-active ionic liquids (SAILs), including both imidazolium monocationic and dicationic compounds. These compounds are promising candidates, as they combine unique surface properties with antimicrobial activity, aligning with modern trends in chemistry. The research encompasses synthesis, thermal analysis, and topographical assessment, focusing on the impact of the amphiphilic cationic moiety, alkyl chain length, and the spatial relationship between the imidazolium ring and the phenyl substituent on the compounds' physicochemical behavior.
