Extractions: Introducing the fully automated Second Generation TOPAS Toxicity Prescreening Assay for the detection of bacterial toxins and bacterial and human inflammatory and serum proteins in gingival crevicular fluid. New Diagnostic Strategies for Fungal Infections Luis Ostrosky-Zeichner, MD John H. Rex, MD http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/442221 San Diego, Saturday, September 28, 2002 Medical mycology has faced an enormous obstacle for decades: timely and accurate diagnosis of invasive fungal infections. These infections are difficult to diagnose because cultures are often negative, or they become positive late in the disease. If a culture is positive, accurate identification of the organism is laborious and time-consuming, relying on macroscopic and microscopic morphologic characteristics, biochemical tests, and serotyping. Physicians and microbiologists have recognized these limitations and have been intensively developing alternative diagnostic methods for decades. Some of these have been very successful, such as the cryptococcal and histoplasma antigen detection methods, which have become diagnostic standards due to their availability and diagnostic performance.

Extractions: Fungal Infections of the Skin Skin fungi live in the dead, top layer of skin cells in moist areas of the body, such as between the toes, groin, and under the breasts. These fungal infections cause only a small amount of irritation. Other types of fungal infections penetrate deeper and may cause itching, swelling, blistering, and scaling. In some cases, fungal infections can cause reactions elsewhere on the body. For example, a person may develop a rash on the finger or hand after touching an infected foot. There are many types of fungal skin infections. Listed and linked below are some, for which we have provided a brief overview. If you cannot find the condition in which you are interested, please visit the Dermatology Online Resources page in this web site for an Internet/World Wide Web address that may contain additional information on that topic.

http://www.nedermatology.com/education/fungal.html

Extractions: Fungal infections are caused by Fungi. Fungi are widespread in our environment and come from spore bearing plants that have no chlorophyll. They are commonly known as mold, mildew, and yeast. Because fungus is so prevalent, it is inevitable that a certain amount of fungi gets inhaled into the lungs or lands on the skin. Fungus grows very rapidly in moist, dark places with little ventilation. A fungal infection occurs when fungi multiply and become inflamed. This can happen internally in the organs or on the outer layer of the skin and nails.

Extractions: The short answer to our question is this: There are many good over-the-counter medications for fungal infections. These include clotrimazole and terbinafine. Just ask your pharmacist. As for bacteria, you can get bacitracin or neosporin without a prescription. These are less effective, but perhpas worth a try.
Nail Fungal Infections (Onychomycosis)
Nail fungal infections deserve special mention. Why?SFSU STUDENT HEALTH SERVICE Nail fungal infections (Onychomycosis).
http://www.sfsu.edu/~shs/skinclinic/nail.htm

Extractions: Nail fungal infections deserve special mention. Why? Because of their high prevalence (15-20%) and the relatively recent introduction of high-tech drugs which make the previously-untreatable treatable. Patients with early toenail infection notice white or yellow discoloration of the nail. As infection progresses the nail becomes brittle and debris begins to collect under the distal nail. Advanced infections usually demonstrate extreme thickening of the nail plate and some loss of nail adhesion, making it easy for the nail to snag and come off, sometimes painfully so. When infection of the fingernail(s) occurs, the nail usually takes on a moth-eaten appearance. Diagnosis: Nail infections are caused by several types of fungi though most are caused by a specific skin fungus (dermatophyte) known as T. rubrum. This is the same organism that causes most athlete's foot, which is discussed separately. Studies show a surprising genetic susceptibility to this infection. If a parent has toenail fungus, then you may get it given the right circumstances.

Microsporum canis, Microsporum gypsum (Tinea Capitis, Tinea Corporis, Tinea Barbae) Before one can discuss these organisms, it is important to understand that fungi are eucaryoytes and therefore differ from the procaryotic bacteria in size ,structural organization, life cycle and modes of multiplication.

Extractions: USE OF LUFENURON FOR TREATING FUNGAL INFECTIONS OF DOGS AND CATS: A SUMMARY OF 297 CLINICAL CASES (1997-1999) Y. Ben Ziony and B. Arzi Ben Ziony Animal Hospital, Kiryat Tivon, Israel Lufenuron (PROGRAM TM ) is an orally administered flea control drug, which acts by inhibiting chitin, liqueflies the eggshell, and so prevents flea multiplication. Fungal cells are also surrounded by a cell wall composed of complex polysaccharides, primarily chitin. Medical records of 138 dogs and 159 cats with dermatophytosis or superficial dermatomycosis and treated with lufenuron, are reviewed. Sixty untreated dermatophytic animals are included as controls. Fungal cultures and direct microscopic identification were performed. The cats were given 51.2 to 266 mg lufenuron/Kg. B.W. The dogs received 54.2 to 68.3 mg. Lufenuron/Kg.B.W. Recovery in cats was extremely rapid: hair started to grow after 5 or 6 days of treatment. The mean clinical recovery time was 11.6 days, while the mean mycological cure time was 8.3 days. In dogs, mean clinical recovery time was 21 days, and mycological cure time in 14.5 days. Negative fungal cultures always preceeded clinical recovery. No side effects or toxicity were encountered. Blood profiles remained unchanged. Untreated control animals recovered spontaneously in 90 days. Treatment aims are to reduce transmission to others and eradicate infection.

Extractions: This fungus is responsible for the fungal infections that most frequently occur in humans . These infections usually affect the mucous membranes and may develop into fatal systemic infections in immunodepressed people. Oral and oesophageal candidosis are frequent in people infected with the AIDS virus. There are few medications against these infections and their effectiveness is limited. The study of this fungus' genome should eventually enable this lack to be overcome through the discovery of new therapeutic approaches. The complete sequencing of the Candida albicans genome is close to being completed at Stanford University C. albicans * genome, in collaboration with the Yeast molecular Genetics Units and one of the INRA's laboratories: available since March 2000, these tools enable the simultaneous analysis of the expression of around 2000 genes . In particular, they have allowed the Institut Pasteur's team, in collaboration with the University of Aberdeen and the INRA, to identify a certain number of genes that may be specific to the filamentary form of C. albicans

Extractions: Amphotericin by intravenous infusion is used for the treatment of systemic fungal infections and is active against most fungi and yeasts. It is highly protein bound and penetrates poorly into body fluids and tissues. When given parenterally amphotericin is toxic and side-effects are common. Lipid formulations of amphotericin ( Abelcet AmBisome , and Amphocil ) are significantly less toxic and are recommended when the conventional formulation of amphotericin is contra-indicated because of toxicity, especially nephrotoxicity; lipid formulations are more expensive.

http://www.hon.ch/News/HSN/510095.html

Extractions: HealthScoutNews Reporter THURSDAY, Nov. 7 (HealthScoutNews) While the spotlight has been focused on the dangers of hospital-acquired infections from resistant bacteria, fungal infections have also been making silent and deadly inroads. This is part of the dark side of advances in medical technology: Yeast and mold infections that can invade the blood stream via a contaminated catheter or simply by breathing the air around you. The rate of invasive aspergillosis, which is caused by a fungus called Aspergillus, is 5 percent to more than 20 percent in high-risk groups, including people with compromised immune systems, such as HIV patients, cancer patients and organ transplant recipients. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Aspergillus is found throughout the environment in soil, decomposing plant matter, household dust, building materials and ornamental plants, as well as food and water. "It's like bread mold. You will see it in the shower or eating in your house or in your refrigerator. We all breathe it in," says Dr. Thomas Patterson, a professor of medicine at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.
