The main objective of this review is to evaluate the current knowledge about the interrelation of skin and nutrient, particularly the influences of nutrients on cutaneous immune responses, the photo protective effects of nutrients and the therapeutic actions of nutrients in skin disorders. The review encompasses some medicinal plants used for the treatment of cancer disease. The plant sources of India likely provide effective anticancer agents. In this article, we have covered the information which is gathered from the plants used recently identified in the cancer treatment.

Aspergillosis is a fungal infection of the lungs, caused by the genus Aspergillus. Aspergillomas form in cavities found within the lungs formed from previous lung disease and can infect other tissues such as skin, sinuses or become disseminated throughout the body. Disseminated aspergillosis develops in severely immunocompromised patients, the critically ill patients and patients on steroids. The present case highlights the importance of early detection and prompt treatment of disseminated aspergillosis with antifungal therapy which if not treated promptly could prove fatal to the patient. The patient responded very well to the treatment and showed clinical, radiological improvement and microbiological clearance.
