Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a common gynecological concern often attributed to hormonal disorders, malignancies, or infections. While bacterial and viral infections are frequently investigated, fungal infections, such as aspergillosis, are often overlooked. This case report highlights a rare instance of endometrial aspergillosis caused by in an immunocompetent woman.

Comprehension of drug-resistance gene expression is fundamental in the development of efficacious treatment strategies. This systematic review endeavored to ascertain the existing knowledge regarding the expression of drug resistance genes in associated with vulvovaginal candidiasis by the amalgamation of published research findings.

In this experimental study, 120 self-cure acrylic discs were contaminated with and randomly divided into four main groups: exposure to ginger essential oil, nystatin (positive control), distilled water (negative control), and no exposure. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of ginger oil and nystatin was determined by the microdilution test.

- Invasive mucormycosis is a serious fungal infection that often occurs in diabetic patients, especially those with COVID-19 due to treatment with corticosteroids, leading to higher risks of mortality.
- A case study in Iran involved a 73-year-old diabetic woman with COVID-19 who developed rhino-orbital mucormycosis after receiving treatment for her lung issues.
- Histopathology confirmed the presence of the infection, and with timely antifungal treatment, the patient responded well, marking this as the first documented case in Iran related to COVID-19.
Article Synopsis
- A new pathogenic yeast has gained attention for its rapid spread and resistance to multiple drugs, often causing hospital outbreaks and being misidentified by traditional methods.
- The report details the first case of fluconazole-resistant otitis in an immunocompetent patient in Iran, showing a high resistance level to the drug yet successfully treated with alternative medications.
- This case marks the second instance of a fluconazole-resistant yeast strain found in otitis in Iran, differing from the earlier strain identified.
Fungal otitis externa, an infection of the external auditory canal caused by molds and yeasts, accounts for approximately 10-20% of ear canal infections accompanying high recurrence. The purpose of the current study was to assess the pattern of etiological agents of otomycosis and resistance profile as well as the rate of tympanic membrane perforation. A total of 1040 patients with symptoms of fungal otitis externa, in a period of two years, were investigated.

- * A study involving 161 patients identified that the highest incidence is among women aged 40-49, particularly urban housewives, with symptoms like itching and hearing loss.
- * Only 3.1% of patients experienced relapse, mainly in women and those with ear manipulation or ulcers, suggesting clotrimazole is a cost-effective option for managing otomycosis.
Outer Ear Infections in Iran: A Review.
Open Access Maced J Med Sci
April 2019
Background: Otitis externa is the fungal and bacterial infection of the outer ear.
Aim: We aimed to investigate the published papers about the outer ear infections in Iran and suggest standardised investigations and treatments.
Methods: We used different electronic databases like PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Iranmedex, Google Scholar, and Magiran with specific keywords.
Background And Purpose: There are controversial findings regarding the efficacy of antifungal drugs in the treatment of a ruptured eardrum following fungal infections. Regarding this, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of the co-administration of antifungal and antibacterial agents in the treatment of otomycosis with tympanic membrane perforation.
Materials And Methods: This analytical, clinical trial was conducted on 87 patients with otomycosis showing no bacterial elements in the direct observation and culture.
Background: -associated denture stomatitis (CADS) is a common fungal infection in people who wear dentures. The main objective of this study was to make molecular identification of causative agents of CADS and in vitro antifungal susceptibility testing (AFST) in the Iranian patients with denture stomatitis.
Methods: A total of 134 spp.

Iran J Otorhinolaryngol
January 2018
Introduction: Due to the prevalence of otomycosis in the north of Iran, which has a humid climate, this study aimed to examine the recurrence rate of otomycosis in Iranian patients.
Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in all patients suspected of otomycosis referred to the Otorhinolaryngology Clinic of Ayatollah Rouhani Hospital of Babol. Demographic and clinical data of patients as well as their symptoms were collected in a checklist at referral time and also 14 days after referral.
Introduction: Because of resistance and side effects to common antifungal drugs activity, the research on herbal substances with antifungal activity is frequent. is a member of family. The aim of this study was to determine the anti-candida activities of the ethanolic and aqueous extracts of the leaves and compare them with and .
