Fungiscope
Global Rare Fungal Infection Registry
Remote Data Entry
We are collecting data related to cases of rare filamentous fungi, especially fusariosis and other less common infections caused by, e.g. Scedosporium spp., Penicillium spp., Acremonium spp., Paecilomyces spp., Trichoderma and any other rare fungi, including dematiaceous fungi such as Alternaria spp., Aureobasidium spp., Bipolaris spp., Cladiophialophora spp., Cladosporium spp., Curvularia spp., Exophiala spp. and Phialophora spp. and rare yeasts, e.g. Trichosporon spp.
Inclusion criteria:
- Cultural, histopathological, antigen, or DNA evidence of invasive fungal infection
Exclusion criteria:
- Infection due to Aspergillus spp., Candida spp., Cryptococcus neoformans, Pneumocystis jiroveci, Zygomycetes
- Endemic fungal infection such as coccidioidomycosis or histoplasmosis
- Colonisation or other non-invasive infection
Budgetary information
For evaluable patient documentations filled in by the participating center a compensation of € 100 each will be paid. If the documentation workload is too high, centers are encouraged to ask the study office for personnel to be sent to the site.
For isolates made available to the central laboratory an additional € 50 will be paid.
Authorship
The intention is to publish one subset of this cohort at a time. Authorship will be restricted to those centers contributing patients or translational work to the subset published. For each contributing center there will be authorship positions available.
