OPPORTUNISTIC MYCOSESGeneral features

CAUSATIVE AGENTSSaprophyte in nature/found in normal flora

HOST Immunosupressed /other risk

factors

Candidiasis Cryptococcosis Aspergillosis Zygomycosis Other: Trichosporonosis, fusariosis,

penicillosis……***ANY fungus found in nature may give

rise to opportunistic mycoses ***

OPPORTUNISTIC MYCOSES

Page 4: OPPORTUNISTIC MYCOSES

Most commonly encountered opportunistic mycoses worldwide

Cellular immunity protects against mucocutaneous candidiasis, neutrophiles protect against invasive candidiasis

Endogenous inf. Etio: Candida spp. Most common:

1. C. albicans 2. C. tropicalis

CANDIDIASIS

Page 5: OPPORTUNISTIC MYCOSES

MOST COMMONLY ISOLATED CANDIDA SPECIESC. albicansC. tropicalisC. parapsilosis C. kefyrC. glabrata C. kruseiC. guillermondiiC. lusitaniae

Page 6: OPPORTUNISTIC MYCOSES

CandidaMORPHOLOGICAL FEATURES Micr. Budding yeast cells

Pseudohyphae, true hyphae Macr. Creamy yeast colonies (SDA) Germ tube (C. albicans, C. dubliniensis) Chlamydospore (C. albicans, C. dubliniensis) Identification Germ tube, fermentation

and assimilation reactions

Page 7: OPPORTUNISTIC MYCOSES

CandidaPATHOGENICITY Attachment (Germ tube is more

adhesive than yeast cell)Adherence to plastic surfaces

(catheter, prosthetic valve..)ProteasePhospholipase

Page 8: OPPORTUNISTIC MYCOSES

CANDIDIASISRisk factors Physiological. Pregnancy, elderly, infancy Traumatic. Burn, infection Hematological. Cellular immune deficiency,

AIDS, chronic granulamatous disease, aplastic anemia, leukemia, lymphoma...

Endocrinological. DM, hypoparathyroidism, Addison disease

Iatrogenic. Oral contraceptives, antibiotics, steroid, chemotherapy, catheter...

CANDIDIASISClinical manifestations-I1. CUTANEOUS and SUBCUTANEOUSOralVaginal OnychomycosisDermatitisDiaper rash Balanitis

Page 10: OPPORTUNISTIC MYCOSES

CANDIDIASISClinical manifestations-II

Esophagitis Pulmonary inf. Cystitis Pyelonephritis Endocarditis Myocarditis

Peritonitis Hepatosplenic Endophthalmitis Arthritis Osteomyelitis Menengitis Skin lesions

2. SYSTEMIC

CANDIDIASISClinical manifestations-III3. CHRONIC MUCOCUTANEOUS Candida inf. of skin and mucous

membranes Verrucose lesions Impaired cellular immunity Autosomal recessive trait Hypoparathyroidism, iron deficiency

Page 12: OPPORTUNISTIC MYCOSES

CANDIDIASISDiagnosis Direct micr.ic examination Yeast cells, pseudohyphae, true hyphae Culture SDA, routine bacteriological media Serology Detection of mannan antigen (ELISA, RIA, IF, latex agglutination)

Page 13: OPPORTUNISTIC MYCOSES

CANDIDIASISTreatment CUTANEOUSTopical antifungal: Ketoconazole, miconazole, nystatin SYSTEMIC Amphotericin B Fluconazole, itraconazole CHRONIC MUCOCUTANEOUSAmphotericin BFluconazole, itraconazoleTransfer factor

CRYPTOCOCCOSIS

Underlying cellular immunodeficiency (AIDS, lymphoma)

Exogenous inf. Pathogenesis Inhalation of yeasts Etio. Cryptococcus neoformans

Page 15: OPPORTUNISTIC MYCOSES

Cryptococcus neoformansGeneral properties Natural reservoir Soil, bird droppings Micr. Encapsulated yeast (India ink) Macr. Creamy, mucoid colonies (SDA) Serotypes A-D (most frequently A) Pathogenicity factors

a. Capsuleb. Diphenol oxidase (+) (Bird seed

agar/ caffeic acid medium)c. Ability to grow at 37°C

Page 16: OPPORTUNISTIC MYCOSES

CRYPTOCOCCOSIS Clinical manifestations1. PULMONARYAsymptomatic/flu-like/hilar lap/cavitation2. DISSEMINATED**Meningitis (acute/chronic)CryptococcomaSkin lesionsOther

Page 17: OPPORTUNISTIC MYCOSES

CRYPTOCOCCOSIS DiagnosisSamples CSF, sputum,

aspiration from skin lesion

Direct exam. India inkCulture SDASerology*** Detection of capsule

antigen in CSF and serum by latex agglutination test

Page 18: OPPORTUNISTIC MYCOSES

CRYPTOCOCCOSIS Treatment

Amphotericin B (+ flucytosine)

Life-long fluconazole prophylaxis following primary treatment (in AIDS patients)

Page 19: OPPORTUNISTIC MYCOSES

ASPERGILLOSIS

Etio: Aspergillus spp.(most common:A. fumigatus)

Risc factors and pathogenesis 1. Immunosupression, DM..exogenous inf.

(inhalation of spores)2. Inhalation of spores by atopic host

Hypersensitivity reactions (allergy) 3. Ingestion of products contaminated with

Aspergillus toxins Mycotoxicosis / hepatocellular and colon carcinoma

Page 20: OPPORTUNISTIC MYCOSES

Aspergillus GENERAL FEATURES

Natural reservoir: air, soil Pathogenicity factors: hypha, phospholipase Infected tissue: vascular invasion,

thrombus, infarct, bleeding

Macr: powdery mould colonies(color of the spores varies from

one species to other) Micr: septate hyphae (dichotomous

branching), vesicule, phialides, microconidia

Page 21: OPPORTUNISTIC MYCOSES

ASPERGILLOSISClinical manifestations-I

I. ALLERGIC ASPERGILLOSIS1. Asthma (Type I)

2. Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (Types I, III)

II. NONINVASIVE LOCAL COLONIZATION1. Aspergilloma (Fungus ball) (lungs, paranasal sinuses)2. Otomycosis (external otitis)3. Onychomycosis 4. Eye inf. (conjunctival, corneal, intraocular)

Page 22: OPPORTUNISTIC MYCOSES

ASPERGILLOSISClinical manifestations-IIIII. INVASIVE ASPERGILLOSIS1. Pulmonary2. Disseminated: GIT, brain, liver,

kidney, heart, skin, eye

IV. MYCOTOXICOSIS

Page 23: OPPORTUNISTIC MYCOSES

ASPERGILLOSISDiagnosis Samples Sputum, BAL, tissue... Direct exam. Septate hyphae and conidia

in sputum; intravascular hyphae in tissue Culture SDA (without cycloheximide) (should grow at least in 2 cultures !) Serology

Allergy (detection of specific IgE in serum--RAST)Invasive inf. (detection of galaktomannan antigen in serum--ELISA)

ASPERGILLOSISTreatment ALLERGIC Steroid ASPERGILLOMA (if symptomatic)
