Aspergillosis
Kingdom: Fungi
Phylum: Ascomycota
Class: Ascomycetes
Order: Eurotiales
Family: Trichocomaceae
Genus: Aspergillus
Species
• about 200, including: Aspergillus ochraceus
Aspergillus caesiellus Aspergillus oryzae
Aspergillus parasiticus
Aspergillus candidus
Aspergillus penicilloides
Aspergillus carneus Aspergillus restrictus
Aspergillus clavatus Aspergillus sojae
Aspergillus deflectus Aspergillus sydowi
Aspergillus flavus Aspergillus tamari
Aspergillus fumigatus Aspergillus terreus
Aspergillus ustus
Aspergillus glaucus Aspergillus versicolor
Aspergillus nidulans
Aspergillus niger
• Aspergillus species are highly aerobic.
• Found in almost all oxygen-rich
environments.
• Commonly, fungi grow on carbon-rich
substrates such as monosaccharides
(such as glucose) and polysaccharides
(such as amylose).
• Aspergillus species are common
contaminants of starchy foods (such as
bread and potatoes), and grow in or on
many plants and trees.
• Species of Aspergillus are important
medically and commercially.
• More than 60 Aspergillus species are
medically relevant pathogens.
• For humans there is a range of diseases
such as infection to the external ear,
skin lesions, and ulcers classed as
mycetomas.
• Other species are important in commercial
microbial fermentations.
• For example, alcoholic beverages such as
Japanese sake are often made from rice or
other starchy ingredients (like manioc), rather
than from grapes or malted barley. Typical
microorganisms used to make alcohol, such
as yeasts of the genus Saccharomyces,
cannot ferment these starches, and so koji
mold such as Aspergillus oryzae is used to
break down the starches into simpler sugars.
• Some Aspergillus species cause serious
disease in humans and animals, and
can be pathogenic.
• The most common causing invasive
disease are Aspergillus fumigatus and
Aspergillus flavus. Aspergillus flavus
produces aflatoxin which is both a toxin
and a carcinogen, and which can
potentially contaminate foods such as
nuts.
ASPERGILLOSIS
• Aspergillosis is the group of diseases caused
by Aspergillus.
• The most common subtype among paranasal
sinus infections associated with aspergillosis
is aspergillus fumigatus.
• The symptoms include fever, cough, chest
pain or breathlessness, which also occur in
many other illnesses so diagnosis can be
difficult.
In humans, the major forms of disease:
• Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis or ABPA
(affects patients with symptoms that produce
significant respiratory morbidity such as asthma,
cystic fibrosis and sinusitis).
• Acute invasive aspergillosis (risk increases if patient
has weakened immunity such as some AIDS patients
and those undergoing chemotherapy).
• Disseminated invasive aspergillosis (widespread
through body).
• Aspergillosis of the air passages is also frequently
reported in birds, and certain species of Aspergillus
have been known to infect insects.
Mucormikosis
Kingdom: Fungi
Division: Zygomycota
Class: Zygomycetes
Order: Mucorales
Family: Mucoraceae
Genus: Mucor
Species
M. amphibiorum
M. circinelloides
M. hiemalis
M. indicus
M. racemosus
M. ramosissimus
• Mucor is a genus of about
40 species of molds
commonly found in soil and
on plant surfaces, as well as
in rotten vegetable matter.
Reproduction
• During asexual reproduction, erect hyphal sporangiophores are
formed. The tip of the sporangiophore swells to form a globose
sporangium that contains uninucleate, haploid sporangiospores.
An extension of the sporangiophore called the columella
protrudes into the sporangium. The sporangium walls are easily
ruptured to release the spores, which germinate readily to form
a new mycelium on appropriate substrates.
• During sexual reproduction, compatible strains form short,
specialized hyphae called gametangia. At the point where two
complementary gametangia fuse, a thick-walled, sphaerical
zygosporangium develops. The zygosporangium typically
contains a single zygospore. Nuclear karyogamy and meiosis
(sexual recombination) occur within the zygospores, which are
thought to be long-lived and resistant to adverse conditions.
They may germinate to form hyphae or a sporangium. Mucor
includes both homothallic (self-compatible) and heterothallic
species.
Clinical significance
• Most species of Mucor are unable to
infect humans and endothermic animals
due to their inability to grow in warm
environments close to 37 degrees
Celsius.
• Thermotolerant species such as Mucor
indicus sometimes cause opportunistic,
and often rapidly spreading, necrotizing
infections known as zygomycosis.

Coccydiomikosis
Kingdom: Fungi
Division: Ascomycota
Class: Ascomycetes
Order: Onygenales
Family: Onygenaceae
Genus: Coccidioides
Presentation
• The disease is usually mild, with flu-like symptoms
and rashes
• Serious complications include severe pneumonia,
lung nodules, and disseminated disease skin ulcers
and abscesses to bone lesions, severe joint pain,
heart inflammation, urinary tract problems,
meningitis, and often death.
• It has been known to infect humans, dogs, cattle,
livestock, llamas, apes, monkeys, kangaroos,
wallabies, tigers, bears, badgers, otters and marine
mammals.
• Symptomatic infection (40% of cases) usually
presents as an influenza-like illness with fever, cough,
headaches, rash, and myalgia (muscle pain).
Types
• Coccidioidomycosis may be divided into
the following types:
– Primary pulmonary coccidioidomycosis
– Disseminated coccidioidomycosis
– Primary cutaneous coccidioidomycosis
Diagnostic test
• Microscopic detection of diagnostic cells in
body fluids, exudates, sputum and biopsy-
tissue.
• With specific nucleotide primers C.immitis
DNA can be amplified by PCR.
• It can also be detected in culture by
morphological identification or by using
molecular probes that hybridize with
C.immitis RNA.
• Serologic analysis detecting fungal antigen or
host antibody produced against the fungus.
pengobatan
• There are no published prospective studies
that examine optimal antifungal therapy for
coccidioidomycosis Mild cases often do not
require treatment.
• PO Fluconazole and IV Amphotericin B are
used in progressive or disseminated disease,
or in which patients are
immunocompromised.
• Alternatively, itraconazole, fluconazole or
ketoconazole may be used.
Histoplasmosis
Kingdom: Fungi
Phylum: Ascomycota
Subphylum: Ascomycotina
Class: Ascomycetes
Order: Onygenales
Family: Onygenaceae
Genus: Histoplasma
• DEFINISI
Histoplasmosis adalah suatu penyakit
infeksi yang disebabkan oleh jamur
Histoplasma capsulatum, yang terutama
menyerang paru-paru tetapi kadang-
kadang bisa menyebar ke bagian tubuh
yang lain.
• Histoplasma is a genus of dimorphic
fungi commonly found in bird and bat
fecal material.
• Histoplasma contains a few species,
including—H. capsulatum—the
causative agent of histoplasmosis and
Histoplasma capsulatum var.
farciminosum (old term, Histoplasma
farciminosum), causing epizootic
lymphangitis in horses.
gEJALA
Histoplasmosis bisa ditemukan dalam 3 (tiga) bentuk:
• Histoplasmosis akut.
Pada bentuk yang akut, gejala biasanya timbul dalam
waktu 3- 21 hari setelah penderita menghisap spora
jamur. Penderita akan merasakan sakit disertai
demam dan batuk.
Gejala-gejala tersebut biasanya menghilang dalam
waktu 2 minggu tanpa pengobatan dan kadang bisa
menetap sampai selama 6 minggu.
Bentuk ini jarang bersifat fatal.
• Histoplasmosis diseminata progresif.
Subphylum: Basidiomycotina
Order: Sporidiales
Family: Sporidiobolaceae
• Infeksi juga bisa mengenai tulang, sendi, otot atau mata. Dan
kadang menyerang limpa, hati, ginjal, alat kelaminl atau otak.
DIAGNOSIS
• Diagnosis ditegakkan berdasarkan ditemukannya
Sporothrix pada biakan jaringan yang terinfeksi.
PENGOBATAN
Infeksi pada kulit biasanya menyebar sangat lambat
dan jarang berakibat fatal.
Pengobatannya adalah dengan itrakonazol per-oral
(melalui mulut). Bisa juga diberikan kalium-yodida
per-oral, tapi tidak efektif dan menimbulkan efek
samping seperti ruam dan peradangan mata, mulut
dan tenggorokan.
Untuk infeksi yang meluas, diberikan amfoterisin B
intravena (melalui pembuluh darah).
