Area of Science:

  • Medical Mycology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Immunocompromised Host Research

Context:

  • Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection significantly increases susceptibility to opportunistic fungal infections (mycoses).
  • While candidosis, cryptococcosis, and histoplasmosis are well-established HIV-associated mycoses, aspergillosis is an emerging concern.
  • Understanding the morphological characteristics of these fungi is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.

Purpose:

  • To document and discuss the morphology of fungal pathogens responsible for HIV-associated mycoses.
  • To highlight the recent increase in aspergillosis cases among individuals with HIV.
  • To provide insights into the in vivo and in vitro characteristics of these opportunistic fungi.

Summary:

  • This research examines the morphology of fungal pathogens causing mycoses in HIV-positive individuals.
