KidsHealth Kids Kids' Health Problems Skin What do you think of when you hear the word fungus? Do you think of mushrooms? A mushroom is one type of fungus, but fungus also refers to a type of germ that lives on all of us. This germ is harmless most of the time, but sometimes it can cause a problem called a fungal infection (say: fung -gul in- fek -shun). It sounds gross, but don't worry or feel embarrassed. A lot of people get fungal infections, but they're usually easy to treat becuase a fungus rarely spreads below the skin . If you get one of these infections, before you know it, you'll be saying bye-bye to fungi (say: fung -guy). What Is a Fungal Infection Fungi , the word for more than one fungus, can be found on different parts of the body. Here are some common types of fungal infections: Tinea (say: tih -nee-uh) is a type of fungal infection of the hair , skin, or nails . When it's on the skin, tinea usually begins as a small red area the size of a pea. As it grows, it spreads out in a circle or ring. Tinea is often called ringworm because it may look like tiny worms are under the skin (but of course, they're not!). Because the fungi that cause tinea (ringworm) live on different parts of the body, they are named for the part of the body they infect. Scalp ringworm is found on the head, and body ringworm affects the arms, legs, or chest. Athlete's foot is another type of fungal infection that usually appears between the toes but can also affect toenails and the bottom or sides of the feet.

9. Simple Facts Sheets: Fungal Infections Thrush is the most common and least serious fungal infection in HIV+ people. Cryptococcal meningitis is a very serious fungal infection. http://www.aegis.com/factshts/network/simple/fungal.html

a Simple Facts Sheet from the AIDS Treatment Data Network fungal infections Thrush is the most common and least serious fungal infection in HIV+ people. It can affect the mouth, throat, skin, stomach, and vagina. In a person with a weakened immune system, thrush can cause more serious problems. This condition is sometimes called candidiasis, because the germs that cause it are called candidiasis albicans. Other types of fungus have been discovered, however, so it may be necessary to try different drugs besides the ones that are used now. Some medications, such as antibiotics, steroids, and cancer medications, may cause thrush. Oral Thrush (in the mouth) looks like white or red patches. It can cause sore throat, pain when swallowing, and nausea. It can also take away your appetite, make eating painful, and make food taste different. Treatments for oral thrush include mouthwash and tablets called troches. Some people try baking soda or hydrogen peroxide mixed with water to rinse the mouth. If the thrush is advanced, this isn't likely to work. Treatments for thrush include clotrimazole, fluconazole, and ketoconazole. These drugs have different brand names. These drugs sometimes lose their effects when taken for long periods of time, but new ways to use these drugs, and new drugs are being studied. Vaginal candidiasis is a common yeast infection of the vagina. A yeast infection may be the first sign that a woman is HIV+. Symptoms include severe itching, burning, and a thick discharge, often white in color. It is possible that an infection such as unrecognized TB may be causing a vaginal yeast infection. Nystatin tablets are used for treatment. Clotrimazole ointment is another treatment, which is sold over-the-counter as Gyne-Lotrimin, Lotrimin, or Mycelex. Studies have shown that HIV-negative women may only have to take the drug DiFlucan one time to treat this condition. Always consult with your doctor before beginning treatment.

ATDN) Fungal Infection Overview Treatment Review #18; April 1995 A recently completed study that compared clotrimazole to fluconazole to prevent fungal infections showed that fluconazole was more effective, particularly in people with 50 or fewer T4 cells. In addition, fluconazole was shown to reduce the frequency of cryptococcal meningitis, esophageal candidiasis , and superficial fungal infections. We updated the following fungal infection fact sheet to include this new information. It is still not recommended that all people take preventive treatment for fungal infections due to the possibility of resistance to treatment.

17. ADAP Drugs: Flucytosine Used to treat serious fungal infections caused by Candida or Cryptococcus. (Ancobon, 5FC) http://www.atdn.org/access/drugs/flucy.html

flucytosine (Ancobon, 5FC) Drug description Flucytosine is used to treat serious fungal infections caused by Candida or Cryptococcus. Cryptococcus usually infects the membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord, causing cryptococcal meningitis. Cryptococcal meningitis is usally treated with intravenous amphotericin B . Sometimes a doctor will use a combination of amphotericin B and flucytosine to try and bring the cryptococcal infection under control more quickly. However, recent studies show that this combination may be no better than amphotericin B alone due to the side effects of flucytosine. Other new studies have shown that the combination of flucytosine and another antifungal drug, fluconazole , may be just as effective as intravenous amphotericin B at treating cryptococcal meningitis. Flucytosine and fluconazole are both pills. Side effects Bone marrow toxicity can cause anemia, leukopenia, pancytopenia, thrombocytopenia and, rarely, agranulocytosis and eosinophilia. Other side effects can be nausea, vomiting, anorexia, bloating, diarrhea, and, rarely, bowel perforation. Reversible elevations in liver enzymes have been reported. Occasionally, rashes may be a side effect. Some side effects that have only been seen very rarely are confusion, hallucinations, headaches, sedation, vertigo and liver enlargement.There has also been a case of severe allergic-type reaction to the drug in at least one person with AIDS. This type of reaction is called anaphylaxis. Dosage The usual dosage of flucytosine for adults and children is 50-150mg/kg daily, administered in equally divided doses at 6 hour intervals.

Fungal Infections of Fingernails and Toenails Printer-friendly version Email this article A fingernail or toenail infection that is caused by a fungus is called onychomycosis (say: "on-ee-koh-my-ko-sis"). Toenails are more likely to become infected than fingernails. This infection can make your nails thick and discolored. You may even have pain in your toes or fingertips. Return to top Who gets fungal nail infections? Anyone can get a fungal nail infection. These infections are more common in adults older than 60 years of age. They are especially common in people with diabetes or circulation problems. Children hardly ever get fungal nail infections. Return to top Why did I get a fungal nail infection? It may be hard to know where or how you got a fungal nail infection. A warm, wet place is a good place for a fungus to grow. If you often wear heavy work boots that make your feet warm and sweaty, a fungus can grow around your toenails. If you often walk barefooted in locker rooms, you can pick up a fungus from the warm, wet floors.
