Determining whether there has been any history of hepatobiliary disease in the family and establishing the geographic and ethnic origin of the patient are key anamnestic factors. It must be ascertained whether the disease has occurred suddenly, developed gradually, or simply not been noticed up to now. It is also important to determine whether this is a primary or secondary liver disorder (the latter is a concomitant reaction which has occurred during a systemic illness or other organic disease). The anamnestic search for the cause of the infection in the patient takes into account viral, bacterial, parasitic and mycotic diseases, (see chapters 22-26) (s. tab. 4.1)...

Dermatophytes have been reported in most laboratory animals, including rats, mice, guinea pigs, and rabbits. The animals may transmit these mycotic diseases to laboratory workers. Accordingly, safe laboratory practices should always be observed (Papini et al. 1997). Skin infections may also be caused by laboratory animal mites (Fox 1982).

A fungus is a colorless plant that lacks chlorophyll. Fungi that cause disease in humans may be yeastlike or moldlike the resulting infections are called mycotic infections or fungal infections.

Pharmacotherapy of fungal disease has been revolutionized by the introduction of the relatively nontoxic oral azole drugs and the echinocandins. Combination therapy is being reconsidered, and new formulations of old agents are becoming available. Unfortunately, the appearance of azole-resistant organisms, as well as the rise in the number of patients at risk for mycotic infections, has created new challenges... 

Spinal subarachnoid hemorrhage is very rare. It is caused by a vascular malformation, hemostatic failure, coarctation of the aorta, inflammatory vascular disease, mycotic aneurysm or a vascular tumor such as ependymoma. Accumulating hematoma may compress the spinal cord. Suspicion is aroused if the cerebral angiogram is negative and the patient develops spinal cord signs. 

Atrial fibrillation with mitral valve disease has long been considered a stroke risk factor. Recurrent embolism occurs in 30-65% of patients with rheumatic mitral valve disease who have a history of a previous embolic event. Most of these recurrences (around 60%) develop within the first year. Mechanical prosthetic valves are a prime site for thrombus formation and patients with these valves require anticoagulation [7, 38]. Bacterial endocarditis can cause stroke as well as intracerebral mycotic aneurysms. Because mycotic aneurysms are inflammatory defects in the vessel wall, treatment with systemic thrombolysis or anticoagulation can lead to rupture with subsequent lobar hemorrhage. Nonbacterial, or marantic, endocarditis is also associated with multiple embolic strokes. This condition is most common in patients with mucinous carcinoma and may be associated with a low-grade disseminated intravascular coagulation. A nonbacterial endocarditis, called Libman-Sacks endocarditis, occurs in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) [42],...

Toljanic et al. [32] reported the survival rates of the facial implants in a retrospective study. Implant failure rate in the orbital region was found to be 23% after 5 years and 42% after 10 years. Charpiot et al. [30] found the ossointegra-tion rate of 142 implants used for 51 facial prostheses was 95.7%. Leonard et al. [19] reported that implant failure was observed for 2 of the 3 implants placed to support a nasal epithesis in a patient with hepatitis C virus who also had serious periodontal disease and had experienced a post-infective necrosis of the nose after a liver transplantation. An implant failure was also observed in a diabetic patient with an extensive midfacial defect due to a mycotic infection, but it did not compromise the retention of the prosthesis.
