Erythema Nodosum el tratamiento y profilaxis de candidiasis Candidiasis Candida is a genus of dimorphic, opportunistic fungi. Candida albicans is part of the normal human flora and is the most common cause of candidiasis. The clinical presentation varies and can include localized mucocutaneous infections (e.g., oropharyngeal, esophageal, intertriginous, and vulvovaginal candidiasis) and invasive disease (e.g., candidemia, intraabdominal abscess, pericarditis, and meningitis). Candida/Candidiasis, aspergilosis, meningitis Meningitis Meningitis is inflammation of the meninges, the protective membranes of the brain, and spinal cord. The causes of meningitis are varied, with the most common being bacterial or viral infection. The classic presentation of meningitis is a triad of fever, altered mental status, and nuchal rigidity.

      • Debido a que existen numerosas interacciones de medicamento a medicamento para los LOS Neisseria azoles Azoles Azoles are a widely used class of antifungal medications inhibiting the production of ergosterol, a critical component in the fungal cell membrane. The 2 primary subclasses of azoles are the imidazoles, older agents typically only used for topical applications, and the triazoles, newer agents with a wide spectrum of uses. Azoles, evalúe cuidadosamente los LOS Neisseria medicamentos para evitar la toxicidad o la infra dosificación.

    Mecanismos de Resistencia

    Los LOS Neisseria mecanismos comunes que contribuyen a la resistencia antifúngica incluyen:

    • Mutación del sitio objetivo del medicamento → ↓ afinidad del medicamento por la lanosterol Lanosterol A triterpene that derives from the chair-boat-chair-boat folding of 2, 3-oxidosqualene. It is metabolized to cholesterol and cucurbitacins. Cholesterol Metabolism 14-α-desmetilasa → ↓ inhibición
    • ↑ Bombas de eflujo → menos medicamento dentro de la célula fúngica
    • Absorción reducida del medicamento → menos medicamento dentro de la célula fúngica
    • La enzima objetivo está sobre producida.
