Item Central nervous system cryptococcosis: parenchymal calcification and large gelatinous pseudocysts(American Society of Neuroradiology, 1997-01) Caldemeyer, Karen S.; Mathews, Vincent P.; Edwards-Brown, Mary K.; Smith, Richard R.; Radiology and Imaging Sciences, School of MedicineIn an 11-year-old immunocompetent girl with protracted cryptococcal infection of the central nervous system, CT showed multiple areas of parenchymal calcification. MR imaging showed large gelatinous pseudocysts around the brain stem. These imaging features and the child's age are unusual for intracranial cryptococcosis.Item Cutaneous presentation of progressive disseminated histoplasmosis nine years after renal transplantation(Wiley, 2013) Rosado-Odom, Vera M.; Daoud, Jacques; Johnson, Raymond; Allen, Stephen D.; Lockhart, Shawn R.; Iqbal, Naureen; Shieh, Wun-Ju; Zaki, Sherif; Sharfuddin, Asif; Medicine, School of MedicineInitial presentation of invasive fungal infections such as histoplasmosis can include non-specific clinical manifestations, especially in immunocompromised patients. A high index of suspicion is required to identify atypical manifestations of these diseases, which carry a high risk of mortality, if the diagnosis is delayed or missed. We describe a case of a kidney transplant recipient with cutaneous lesions as initial manifestation of progressive disseminated histoplasmosis where a skin biopsy was crucial to an early diagnosis.Item Response to the letter to the editor: Lansoprazole interferes with fungal respiration and acts synergistically with amphotericin B against multidrug-resistant Candida auris(Taylor & Francis, 2024) Salama, Ehab A.; Elgammal, Yehia; Wijeratne, Aruna; Lanman, Nadia A.; Utturkar, Sagar M.; Farhangian, Atena; Li, Jianing; Meunier, Brigitte; Hazbun, Tony R.; Seleem, Mohamed N.; Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, School of Medicine
