| Animal studies have shown that colonized mice may transmit the organism to immunosuppressed mice (32). Among the 5 patients in whom the presence or absence of fungal invasion was not reported, 2 were immunosuppressed (1 case of diabetes and 1 case of bone marrow transplantation); the diabetic patient was treated with surgery alone and his outcome was not reported, and the post-transplant patient was treated with combined surgery and antifungal therapy but died of a related cause. Add chickenpox, shingles, the immunosuppressant drugs used by cancer and organ-transplant patients, along with the increasing number of immunosuppressed patients who have HIV and AIDS, and it's not hard to understand why we are now seeing a greater incidence of herpes infections. |
