“…1 This elevated male cryptococcosis prevalence predates the HIV outbreak and may be due to gender differences in macrophage response to Cryptococcus. 19 A sample of the wide variety of reported immunocompromising conditions predisposing to cryptococcosis was seen in our study. 1,17,18 The proportion of CrAg-positive patients in our study who were within 162 m (<0.1 miles) from green space (41%) was similar to a historical control group of 250 randomly selected adult patients with communityacquired pneumonia taken from this same catchment area (39.6%) for a 2006-2013 blastomycosis study.…”

The research investigated the possible antifungal behavior of forty-four truffles bioactive compounds conducted to investigate the interaction modes of these inhibitors against three different types of the fungal proteins: Candida albicans, Blastomyces dermatitidis, and Ganoderma microsporum. The applied method in contrast to ketoconazole and griseofulvin revealed the possible anti-fungal agents ergosterol, Catechin gallate and rutin. With respect to Candida Albicans, the maximum possible binding energy was ergosterol (-11.75 Kcal/mol), followed then by catechin gallate (-11.46 Kcal/mol) then rutin (-9.90 Kcal/mol). Compared to Blastomyces, Ganoderma microsporum fungal protein with most negative binding energy among other components of the truffle is found to be of a relatively similar behavior for the same compounds. Ergosterol demonstrated the highest binding capacity for dermatitidis, while rutin scored the lowest against Ganoderma microsporum. The possible anti-fungal components of desert truffle have yet to be studied in vitro in the future.
