Landscape of essential growth and fluconazole-resistance genes in the human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans.

PLoS biology
Fungi can cause devastating invasive infections, typically in immunocompromised patients. Treatment is complicated both by the evolutionary similarity between humans and fungi and by the frequent emergence of drug resistance. Studies in fungal pathog...

Predictive survival modelings for HIV-related cryptococcosis: comparing machine learning approaches.

Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology
INTRODUCTION: HIV-associated cryptococcosis is marked by unpredictable disease trajectories and persistently high mortality rates worldwide. Although improved risk stratification and tailored clinical management are urgently needed to enhance patient...

Application of deep learning algorithm in the recognition of cryptococcosis and talaromycosis skin lesions.

Mycoses
BACKGROUND: Cryptococcosis and talaromycosis are known as 'neglected epidemics' due to their high case fatality rates and low concern. Clinically, the skin lesions of the two fungal diseases are similar and easily misdiagnosed. Therefore, this study ...

One deep learning local-global model based on CT imaging to differentiate between nodular cryptococcosis and lung cancer which are hard to be diagnosed.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
OBJECTIVES: We aim to evaluate a deep learning (DL) model and radiomic model for preoperative differentiation of nodular cryptococcosis from solitary lung cancer in patients with malignant features on CT images.

Isolated Pulmonary Cryptococcosis Confused with Lung Tumor 5 Years After Kidney Transplantation: A Case Report.

Transplantation proceedings
BACKGROUND: In transplant recipients, due to the use of immunosuppressive therapy, it is occasionally difficult to distinguish between an infection and malignancy, especially in the case of a lung lesion. Here, we report a case of isolated pulmonary ...
