  1. Fungal Infections Slackers Facts by Mike Ori

  2. Disclaimer The information represents my understanding only so errors and omissions are probably rampant. It has not been vetted or reviewed by faculty. The source is our class notes. The document can mostly be used forward and backward. I tried to mark questionable stuff with (?). If you want it to look pretty, steal some crayons and go to town. Finally… If you’re a gunner, buck up and do your own work.

  3. What is a tinea

  4. A superficial fungal infection defined by its anatomical location

  5. List common tinea locations and names

  6. Etiologic agent: Itchy scrotum

  7. Candida

  8. Vaginal candidiasis predisposing factors

  9. Diabetes Antibiotic use Pregnancy HIV

  10. What is a woods lamp and why is it used

  11. It is a UV lamp that causes some fungal infections to fluoresce and hence serves as a diagnostic tool.

  12. What is the slide mount prep for fungal infections

  13. KOH prep

  14. Etiologic agent: Angular chelitis

  15. Candida

  16. Etiologic agent: Erythematous depapillation in midline of lingua

  17. Candida

  18. Etiologic agent: pseudomembranous plaques in mouth

  19. Candida

  20. Candida treatment

  21. Topicals - Nystatin rinse (swish and swallow), OTC azoles Systemics – Triazoles or amphotericin B

  22. Onychomycosissx

  23. Opaque, yellow, thickened, chalky nails with debris accumulation

  24. Onychomycosistx

  25. Usually long term systemic anti-fungals like fluconazole, itraconazole, terbinafine.

  26. Aspergilla source

  27. Environment - soil

  28. Aspergillosis categories

  29. Non-invasive Allergic reaction Aspergilloma Invasive Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis

  30. Aspergilloma tx

  31. Surgical removal if aspergilloma is problematic. Medical tx cannot adequately penetrate the ball.

  32. Chronic necrotizing aspergilloma features

  33. Invades lung parenchyma but does not invade vasculature

  34. Chronic necrotizing aspergilloma epidemiology

  35. Lung disease accompanied by “some” immune suppression

  36. Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis characterization

  37. Destruction of the lung parenchyma with invasion into the vasculature (angio invasive)

  38. Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis epidemiology

  39. Prolonged neutropenia as in cancer tx

  40. Fusariosis characterization

  41. Commensal organism on many grains that causes keratitis in contact lens users. Infection occurs by direct inoculation and may spread systemically in immunocompromised hosts.

  42. Fusariosis risk factors

  43. Prolonged neutropenia or immune suppression due to allograft transplants

  44. Bioterror potential of Fusariosis

  45. Mycotoxins have been weaponized

  46. Scedosporis characterization

  47. Dimorphic fungus with clinical disease similar to Fusariosis.

  48. Scedosporiosis risk factors

  49. Prolonged neutropenia, immune suppression due to allograft transplants, diabetes.
