New insights gained through the use of state-of-the-art technologies, including next-
generation sequencing, are starting to reveal that the association between the …

Background—Perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (pANCA) are a well
recognised marker for ulcerative colitis. Antibodies to oligomannosidic epitopes of the yeast …

The molecular interactions between commensal microorganisms and their host are basically
different from those triggered by pathogens since they involve tolerance. When the …

This chapter is an overview of the literature on serological markers of inflammatory bowel
diseases (IBD), focusing on anti-neutrophil cytoplasm autoantibodies (ANCA) and anti …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: In the absence of pathognomonic markers for Crohn's disease
(CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease depends on a …

Crohn's disease (CD) results from a complex interplay between host genetic factors and
endogenous microbial communities. In the current study, we used Ion Torrent sequencing to …

Elevated antibody levels against the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been reported in
sera from patients with Crohn's disease and not with ulcerative colitis. The aim of the study …

We performed an observational study to investigate intensive care unit incidence, risk
factors, and outcomes of coronavirus disease–associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) …

Background Patients with severe COVID-19 have emerged as a population at high risk of
invasive fungal infections (IFIs). However, to our knowledge, the prevalence of IFIs has not …

Background Mucormycosis incidence is increasing and is associated with a high rate of
mortality. Although lipid-based formulations of amphotericin B are the recommended first …
