| human penicilliosis marneffei and its relation to the bamboo rat (rhizomys pruinosus). | fourteen cases of penicilliosis marneffei occurred in persons in the guangxi region of the people's republic of china; the first known case of that disease had been found in vietnamese bamboo rats (rhizomys sinensis). a survey of the wild rats in this region was initiated to determine if any of these animals were infected by penicillium marneffei. although r. sinensis rats live in the study area, they are relatively rare. the only rats captured were another species of bamboo rat (r. pruinosus). ... | 1986 | 3783360 |
| disseminated penicillium marneffei infection with fungemia and endobronchial disease in an aids patient in china. | to present a rare chinese case of disseminated penicillium marneffei infection with fungemia and endobronchial disease in an aids patient. | 2006 | 16651843 |
| penicillium marneffei infection: an emerging disease in mainland china. | penicillium marneffei is an emerging pathogenic fungus that can cause a life-threatening systemic mycosis in immunocompromised hosts, especially in patients with aids. this infection is endemic in southeast asia. with the prevalence of aids in this area, the number of patients with systemic penicilliosis marneffei is found to be increasing rapidly in mainland china in recent years. we recently reviewed 668 cases of penicilliosis marneffei in mainland china from january 1984 to december 2009 in c ... | 2013 | 22983901 |
| in vitro antifungal drug susceptibilities of penicillium marneffei from china. | penicillium marneffei infections in immunocompromised patients are often fatal, but early treatment with appropriate antifungal agents may have a good prognosis. to select drugs for treating p. marneffei infection in southern china, the susceptibilities of antifungal agents against p. marneffei isolates were evaluated. twenty-five strains of p. marneffei were isolated from patients from 2008 to 2010 in guangxi province of china, and 14 strains were isolated from bamboo rats. the activity of vori ... | 2013 | 23104584 |
| mucocutaneous manifestations of hiv-infected patients in the era of haart in guangxi zhuang autonomous region, china. | human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) infection and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids) are frequently associated with diverse mucocutaneous manifestations. however, few studies of hiv/aids-related mucocutaneous manifestations have been reported in china. | 2013 | 22212015 |
| microsatellite analysis of clinical isolates of the opportunistic fungal pathogen penicillium marneffei from aids patients in china. | penicillium marneffei is an opportunistic fungus that may cause fatal disease, and usually infects acquired immune deficiency syndrome (aids) patients. the molecular epidemiology of this fungus remains enigmatic. | 2011 | 21332284 |
| common reservoirs for penicillium marneffei infection in humans and rodents, china. | human penicilliosis marneffei is an emerging infectious disease caused by the fungus penicillium marneffei. high prevalence of infection among bamboo rats of the genera rhizomys and cannomys suggest that these rodents are a key facet of the p. marneffei life cycle. we trapped bamboo rats during june 2004-july 2005 across guangxi province, china, and demonstrated 100% prevalence of infection. multilocus genotypes show that p. marneffei isolates from humans are similar to those infecting rats and ... | 2011 | 21291590 |
| infection due to penicillium marneffei. | penicillium marneffei is endemic in southeast asia, the guangxi province of china, and hong kong. cases of patients infected with p. marneffei have been very rare, but the incidence has increased markedly during the past several years. this increase is exclusively due to infection among patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (hiv). the patients usually presented with symptoms and signs similar to other patients with late hiv diseases. these included fever (99% of the patients), anae ... | 1997 | 9494682 |
| infections caused by penicillium marneffei in china and southeast asia: review of eighteen published cases and report of four more chinese cases. | one accidental and 17 natural human infections caused by penicillium marneffei have been reported in the literature. the accidental infection, in paris, followed inoculation of a culture from a vietnamese bamboo rat into the finger of a mycologist. all patients with natural infections had lived or traveled in the far east. nine of these patients were chinese, all from guangxi zhuang autonomous region. the four additional infections from guangxi reported herein bring the total to 21 natural infec ... | 1988 | 3293165 |
