To determine the genotypes of Toxoplasma gondii strains associated with human toxoplasmosis, we developed a sensitive approach for typing parasites grown from clinical samples by short-term in vitro… (More)
Sulfadiazine, pyrimethamine, and atovaquone are widely used for the treatment of severe toxoplasmosis. Their in vitro activities have been almost exclusively demonstrated on laboratory strains… (More)
Toxoplasmosis is a life-threatening opportunistic infection that affects haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) and solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. Its incidence in these patients is… (More)
BACKGROUND
Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a well recognized, life-threatening infection in neutropenic patients and stem cell transplantation recipients. Early diagnosis is important to achieve the… (More)
Diagnosis of pneumocystosis usually relies on microscopic demonstration of Pneumocystis jirovecii in respiratory samples. Conventional PCR can detect low levels of P. jirovecii DNA but cannot… (More)
BACKGROUND
Airborne transmission of Pneumocystis has been demonstrated in animal models and is highly probable in humans. However, information concerning burdens of Pneumocystis jirovecii… (More)
Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a major opportunistic infection in haematology patients. Spore inhalation is the usual route of Aspergillus infection, suggesting a determining role of environmental… (More)
To assess the prevalence of intestinal parasites in a cohort of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected adults in Cameroon, a cross-sectional study was conducted. Detection of parasites was… (More)
To determine the types of Enterocytozoon bieneusi strains associated with intestinal microsporidiosis, we developed a rapid and efficient approach for typing parasites obtained from stool specimens… (More)
Diagnosis of invasive fungal infection (IFI) remains a challenge. A retrospective study was performed on 279 patients at three French university hospitals to evaluate the performance of the… (More)
