TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper treated one case of chromoblastomycosis by photodynamic therapy (PDT) of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) irradiation combined with terbinafine 250 mg a day.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper conducted a retrospective study on three nodes during the past three decades on fungal infections representing the China, including Taiwan, and reported that Trichophyton rubrum was the commonest organism cultured in 1980s (45.4%) and 1990s (34.5%), but Candida albicans increased significantly and reaching to its peak (26.9%) in 2006s' survey, and became the most common isolate of fungal infection in China currently.

Melanin in a meristematic mutant of Fonsecaea monophora inhibits the production of nitric oxide and Th1 cytokines of murine macrophages.
Junmin Zhang,Li Wang,Liyan Xi,Huaiqiu Huang,Yongxuan Hu,Xiqing Li,Xiao Huang,Sha Lu,Jiufeng Sun +8 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that melanin plays an important role in escaping the killing of oxidative burst in vitro and the exacerbated Th2 response probably accelerates the persistence of the fungus.

Liya He,Liya He,Xin Mei,Sha Lu,Jianchi Ma,Yongxuan Hu,Dongdong Mo,Chen Xinsheng,Fan Ruiqiang,Liyan Xi,Liyan Xi,Ting Xie +11 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the characteristics of T.marneffei infection in non-HIV individuals in mainland China and found that these nonHIV-infected cases were usually misdiagnosed as other diseases, containing tuberculosis (80.7%), bacterial pneumonia (20.5%), lung cancer (5.1%), or other diseases (5 1%).

Role of Rhizomys pruinosus as a natural animal host of Penicillium marneffei in Guangdong, China
TL;DR: It is confirmed that bamboo rat is the ecological niche of P. marneffei and hypothesizes that bamboo rats become infected by inhaling aerosolized conidia originating from environmental sources, rather than by the fecal–oral route or transplacental crossing.
