Article Abstract
We report the first case of canine lymphoadenomegalia caused by Cryptococcus neoformans in Chile. Physical examination of a Rottweiler dog patient showed a generalized lymphoadenomegalia that affected the submandibular, superficial cervical and popliteus lymphatic nodules. Cryptococcus neoformans was isolated and identified from biopsies of the right submandibular nodule. After antifungal susceptibility, oral ketoconazole treatment was established for a period of six months showing clinical improvement. Two years post-treatment the patient showed no signs of the infection.

Coagulant Moringa oleifera lectin (cMoL) is one of the compounds involved in the application of M. oleifera seeds for traditional water treatment methods. The present study highlights the new biotechnological potential of cMoL lectin as an antifungal agent against Cryptococcus neoformans B3501 and H99 and Cryptococcus gattii R265 strains.

Rationale: Cryptococcal meningitis is caused by Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii, predominantly affects immunocompromised host. Resistance to amphotericin B poses therapeutic challenges, especially in immunocompetent individuals, where evidence is scarce.
Patient Concerns: This study reports a case of an old immunocompetent male diagnosed with amphotericin B-resistant C neoformans meningitis.

Protein Kinases (PKs) are a large family of enzymes that act as "molecular switches," playing fundamental role in cellular signaling through protein phosphorylation. This process consists in transfer a phosphate group (-PO₄) from ATP (adenosine triphosphate) to specific residues in target proteins; thereby, controlling vital cellular processes, such as (i) cell proliferation and differentiation, (ii) response to environmental stimuli (stress, nutrients, hormones), (iii) metabolism, (iv) cell cycle and apoptosis, and (v) signal transduction. Among fungi, adaptability is intrinsically connected to their ability to thrive under extreme environmental stress, being morphological plasticity an example of this adaptability.
