Candida Parapsilosis Meningitis in a Patient with AIDS: Report of a Case and Review of the Literature

Candida parapsilosis is a very rare cause of meningitis. Though several cases have now been reported in neonates and children, only few have been described in adult HIV patients. This case report is justified by the rarity of this diagnosis in HIV patients seen in our institution. The results in Sabouraud’s culture and biochemical test (Auxacolor©) were compatible with Candida parapsilosis. The patient has been started on fluconazole, but meningitis progressed to death, showing the gravity of such an opportunistic infection. We emphasize, that rapid monitoring tests and treatment based on drug sensitivity test are required.

This study aims to investigate the killing effect of γ-Fe2O3 combined with carmustine on cervical carcinoma cells, as well as the mechanism of drug resistance of this combined treatment. RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of Multidrug Resistance Gene (MDR-l) gene in all the samples. Results showed that the combination of γ-Fe2O3 and carmustine drugs was significantly better than the control group (P < 0.05), and the tumor showed different degrees of tolerance in combination with the drug. The results of an in vitro drug sensitivity test were consistent with those of mRNA expression of MDR-l gene (P < 0.04). The combination of superparamagnetic γ-Fe2O3 and carmustine derivatives has a better therapeutic effect on cervical carcinoma than either treatment alone. The drug sensitivity test and MDR-l mRNA detection in vitro can improve the accuracy and predictability of cervical carcinoma chemotherapy, providing a scientific basis for individual tumor chemotherapy.
