Neonatal fungemia: a case series highlighting the threat posed by non-albicans Candida (NAC) species and a yeast-like filamentous fungus Premature neonates are particularly vulnerable to fungemia due to factors such as low birth weight, prolonged empirical antibiotic treatment, and immune suppression due to steroid use.

Premature neonates are particularly vulnerable to #fungemia due to factors such as low birth weight, prolonged empirical antibiotic treatment, and immune suppression due to steroid use.

This case series outlines the challenges of diagnosis and how to approach treatment.

It’s Fungal Disease Awareness Week! #FDAW
🍄 Day 2: Fungi Are Everywhere

Fungal diseases can spread in several ways, through contact with an infected animal, from skin scrapes exposed to fungi in soil or plants, & by inhaling fungal spores in the air.

#Medsky🧪 #IDsky #episky #immunosky #Publichealth While invasive #fusariosis and #lomentosporiosis are associated with #fungemia, overall data on mold-related fungemia are limited, hampering early management. This study aimed to describe the #epidemiology of mold-positive blood cultures.
Methods

Figure 1. Morphologies of Sporopachydermia lactativora strain RJ001. (a) Colony morphology of S. lactativora grown on blood agar. The blood agar plate was incubated at 35 °C for 2 d. (b) Microscopic evaluation of Gram-stained S. lactativora cells. Scale bar, 10 µm. (c) Colony and cellular morphologies of S. lactativora strain RJ001 on YPD, Lee’s glucose, Lee’s GlcNAc (Xie et al. Citation2013), SD, and PDA media. Yeast cells were plated on the media and cultured at 30 °C or 37 °C for 5 d. Scale bar for colonies, 5 mm; for cells, 10 µm.
