Fungal diseases as neglected pathogens: A wake-up call to public health officialshttps://journals.plos.org/plosntds/article?id=10.1371/journal.pntd.0007964
COVID-19-associated fungal infections can lead to severe illness and death. Symptoms of certain fungal diseases can be similar to those of COVID-19, including fever, cough, and shortness of breath. Some patients can have COVID-19 and a fungal infection at the same time.Aspergillosis is an infection caused by a type of mold (fungus). The illnesses resulting from aspergillosis infection usually affect the respiratory system, but their signs and severity vary greatly.Aflatoxin B1 is considered the most toxic and is produced by both Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus.But new research has just revealed a tentative link between the Candida fungus and schizophrenia in men, and memory impairment in mentally ill women, which suggestes that this kind of infection might have a longer-lasting impact on the body than previously thought.May 5, 2016Infectious diseases are simple in principle and involve a host, a microorganism, and a route of infection. Invasive fungal infections (IFIs), however, are rarely simple, with numerous complicating factors that include: (1) complex immunodeficiencies caused by underlying hematological malignancy, the use of intensive chemotherapy (including immunosuppressive agents and corticosteroids)

fungi as agricultural and human pathogens has become apparent and a growing cause of concern. In Canada, ~1.8% of the population (~650K people) are affected by serious fungal infections, and invasive fungal infections are an important cause of mortality

NOTE

70% of homes in Ontario have mold in attics , subfloors or inside the walls which spore and you breathe the spores

hence many winter respiratory illness this coinfection is almost always missed

doctors and Vets will fight you on this issue and gaslight you

they will almost never diagnose fungal illness

why i cannot say

it seems nonferrous at this point

mental illness is almost always fungal pathogens

Sigmund Freud knew this long ago its in his notes

Respiratory fungal infection is a severe clinical problem, especially in patients with compromised immune functions. Aspergillus, Cryptococcus, Pneumocystis, and endemic fungi are major pulmonary fungal pathogens that are able to result in life-threatening invasive diseases.Jul 3, 2019Fungus-associated chronic cough (FACC) is defined as chronic cough associated with basidiomycetous (BM) fungi found in induced sputum, and recognition of FACC has provided the possibility of using antifungal drugs as new treatment strategies.Aspergillosis is an infection, usually of the lungs, caused by the fungus Aspergillus. A ball of fungus fibers, blood clots, and white blood cells may form in the lungs or sinuses. People may have no symptoms or may cough up blood or have a fever, chest pain, and difficulty breathing.
