Fungal Infections in Gastroenterology by Michael AB Naafs in Current Trends in Gastroenterologyand Hepatology in Lupine publishers
Fungal infections are increasing in gastroenterology. Cirrhotic patients, liver transplantation recipients, and patients with
inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are vulnerable to these infections. The origin of these fungal infections is frequently the GI tract.
The advent of sequencing technology can identify now previously unculturable fungi. Dysbiosis of the mycobiome and microbiome
can uncheck normal commensal fungi and turn pathogenic by largely unknown mechanisms Resistance to antifungals is becoming
a global problem. New antifungals are in development and they are badly needed. In this mini-review the enteric mycobiota and
fungal infections in GI disease are discussed.
