Pretty exciting to see oral amphotericin behaving comparably to IV amphotericin for #HIV associated #Cryptococcus #meningitis
Phase 2 open label #RCT, so not quite there yet, but big potential win in simplicity and access to treatment for
#Cryptococcusneoformans & other #fungal diseases, potentially even #mucor

Author of ‘Blight’ explains how #humans supercharged #fungal #pathogens
Fungal #diseases have come for frogs, bats, bananas, and they're coming for us, too. Unknown until 2009 or 2010, and then the #CDC issued first warning about #Candida auris in 2016. So it’s really pretty new, and we don’t often get a really new emergence, except for something like COVID. But COVID is viral — that’s almost to be expected. To have a newly emergent fungal pathogen was something different https://grist.org/health/the-author-of-blight-explains-how-humans-supercharged-fungal-pathogens/

It sounds like something from a Pedro Pascal zombie drama, but the rise of deadly fungal spores has got some in the scientific community running scared.
July 18, 2023
"Most fungi cannot survive the human body temperature, so fungal infections have, 'for the greater part of the history of humankind,' never been a threat to human health, said Rachael Dangarembizi, a neuroinfections researcher at the University of Cape Town, on The Conversation. Now, however, 'climate change and other environmental pressures have led to the emergence of species of fungi that are capable of surviving at human body temperatures'.
"There are 'many reasons to fear a new fungal pathogen', warned Monosson in Time. These range from 'the paucity of antifungal drug options to lack of vaccines and diagnostic difficulties in humans, to the potential for catastrophic crop and wildlife disease”.
"For example, around 6,000 species of #fungi are known to cause disease in commercial plants, and each year 40% of the world’s #rice crops are lost to a fungal disease, posing a huge threat to global food supply."

#Fungal attacks threaten global #foodsupply, say experts
"While that storyline is #sciencefiction, we are warning that we could see a global #health catastrophe caused by the rapid global spread of fungal infections," said Sarah Gurr, professor at the University of Exeter and co-author of the report. "The imminent threat here is not about zombies, but about global #starvation."
