Evaluation of the DendrisKIT®DP for the Diagnosis of Superficial Fungal Infections Open
Conventional diagnosis of fungal infections of the skin, nail, and hair requires both expertise in mycology and prolonged cultures. We evaluated a new molecular tool based on an innovative technology, the DendrisKIT®DP, combining a pan-fun…

<i>Cryptococcus neoformans/gattii</i> and <i>Histoplasma capsulatum</i> var. <i>capsulatum</i> infections on tissue sections: Diagnostic pitfalls and relevance of an integrated histomolecular diagnosis Open
Cryptococcus neoformans/gattii and Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum may present atypical histopathological features inducing diagnostic errors. We aimed to estimate the frequency of these atypical features in formalin-fixed tissue (F…
Mycotic aneurysm due to Magnusiomyces capitatus complicating a second liver transplant in a colonized patient Open
This report presents an extremely rare case of a fungal mycotic aneurysm due to Magnusiomyces capitatus in a 51-year-old woman who is immunocompromised. The diagnosis was based on multiple computed tomography scans and the identification o…

Reverse-transcriptase real-time PCR in the diagnostic strategy for invasive infections caused by <i>Aspergillus fumigatus</i> Open
The aim was to develop an RT-qPCR targeting Aspergillus fumigatus and compare its performance to that of Aspergillus fumigatus qPCR for the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis (IA). Samples from patients of the Lyon University hospitals fo…

Fungal Integrated Histomolecular Diagnosis Using Targeted Next-Generation Sequencing on Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded Tissues Open
Histopathology is the gold standard for fungal infection (FI) diagnosis, but it does not provide a genus and/or species identification. The objective of the present study was to develop targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) on formalin…
P454 Massive parallel fungal sequencing on formalin-fixed tissues: development and contribution in integrated histomolecular diagnosis Open
Poster session 3, September 23, 2022, 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM Objectives Histopathology is the gold standard for distinguishing between colonization and fungal infection, but it does not provide a precise diagnosis of genera/species. However, i…

Active Surveillance Program to Increase Awareness on Invasive Fungal Diseases: the French RESSIF Network (2012 to 2018) Open
The epidemiology of invasive fungal diseases (IFDs) is hard to delineate given the difficulties in ascertaining the diagnosis that is often based on the confrontation of clinical and microbiological criteria. The present report underlines …
Diagnostic accuracy of fluorescence flow-cytometry technology using Sysmex XN-31 for imported malaria in a non-endemic setting Open
Malaria diagnosis based on microscopy is impaired by the gradual disappearance of experienced microscopists in non-endemic areas. Aside from the conventional diagnostic methods, fluorescence flow cytometry technology using Sysmex XN-31, an…
Azole Resistance in Clinical and Environmental Aspergillus Isolates from the French West Indies (Martinique) Open
The emergence of azole resistant Aspergillus spp., especially Aspergillus fumigatus, has been described in several countries around the world with varying prevalence depending on the country. To our knowledge, azole resistance in Aspergill…
Pulmonary aspergillosis in critically ill patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Open
Occurrence of putative invasive pulmonary aspergillosis was screened in 153 consecutive adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients with respiratory samples addressed for mycological diagnosis during a 6-week period at the emergence of corona…
First cases of <i>Angiostrongylus cantonensis</i> infection reported in Martinique, 2002–2017 Open
Neuroangiostrongyliasis is a parasitic disease caused by the accidental ingestion of the nematode Angiostrongylus cantonensis in its larval form. Human infection can lead to eosinophilic meningitis, sometimes complicated by life-threatenin…
Reaching the WHO target of testing persons in jails in prisons will need diverse efforts and resources Open
HIV and STI testing rates among newcomers at Ducos have notable room for improvement. The future availability of combined (HIV, HBV, HCV and syphilis) rapid tests may be very useful in case of short term incarceration, if their cost is not…
<i>Angiostrongylus costaricensis</i>infection in Martinique, Lesser Antilles, from 2000 to 2017 Open
Human abdominal angiostrongyliasis (HAA) is a parasitic disease caused by the accidental ingestion of the nematode Angiostrongylus costaricensis in its larval form. Human infection can lead to severe ischemic and inflammatory intestinal le…
New Surge of Syphilis among Patients Living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus in Martinique in 2015 Open
A syphilis outbreak began in Martinique, French Antilles, in 2004, initially among men who had sex with men (MSM) and who were living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The outbreak subsequently affected all groups at risk, leading t…
Guillain-Barré Syndrome Associated With Zika Virus Infection in Martinique in 2016: A Prospective Study Open
ZIKV infection is usually benign, when symptomatic, but in countries at risk of ZIKV epidemics, adequate intensive care bed capacity is required for management of severe GBS cases. Arbovirus RNA detection by RT-PCR should be part of the ma…
