Fungal Infections.?

AIDS patients usually die from bacterial or fungal infections. Why do so many fungal infections appear in these individuals, and why are the mycoses so severe given the fact that fungi, for the most part, are benign residents of the environment. Name two species of fungi that are particularly harsh on the AIDS patient.


The bacteria and fungi for the most part are already living inside the body of most people. As those with HIV progress to a state of immune dysfuntion, the immune system that was keeping them in check can no longer do so. So people living with AIDS often get bacterial/fungal/parasitic infections.

Coccidioidomycosis, Histoplasmosis, and chronic vaginal yeast infections in women are some of the more "common" fungal infections in those with HIV.

For the majority of the population, fungi are not a threat because even a basic functioning immune system should be able to keep infection/symptoms away.

Relieved symptoms of tinea versicolor
Experienced positive results when used for treatment of tinea versicolor in just a few applications. I applied generously and allowed the mud to dry then rinsed without using soap. Product did not leave an unpleasant odor like many sulfur soaps recommended by my doctor. The mess is the only drawback but the results are worth it.
Does not work for Tinea Versicolor
I used this last year while i battled my worse Tinea outbreak and it did nothing. i actually think my Tinea Versicolor got worse! I really think they should not advertise this as treatment for Tinea Versicolor the mud didn't do anything at all. I applied it for 15-30 minutes a day for two weeks and saw no improvement.
It actually works!!!
My nail was so bad most of it fell off except one tiney shard, (yes very creepy) I used this once let it sit on my nail for about 30 minutes then wiped off and cleaned and that's all I did over the next month or two my nail grew back in healthy. I suspect if I had used daily it would have worked faster but I was unfortunately super busy at the time and traveling. Definitely worth the money and now I pop on if any nail seems a bit unhappy. Maybe everyone should keep this on had in the house! Vender was excellent also and even in my state!
Better than prescribed medication
I've had tinea versicolor for a long time and this stuff has done more to get rid of it than anything the dermatologist gave me, topical or oral.

The tinea shows up on my skin making it more dry and flakey than incredibly off-color, as it does with others. Using Saprox has diminished the dryness/flakiness of my skin substantially, although the skin quality is still not perfect. The itching I felt especially while sweating is gone.

I haven't used Saprox as consistently as I probably should have, so I am going to buy another bottle (I've bought 3 or 4 as is, but I have it over large portions of my body) and keep going for it until it (hopefully) completely disappears.

I give this a 5 because it gives me hope for a cure and has been improving my skin quality, while the steroids the dermatolgist gave me did squat.


didn't cure tinea
This product did not work to clear up tinea versicolor that my husband has had for 20 years, we were very dissapointed. He applied it to the affected areas for 15 min daily before a shower. No changes.

Customer Reviews

Better than the vets neds.
This stuff is amazing. My 4 year old female American Lab has had a yeast infection in her right ear her whole life. The meds form the vet would only get rid of it temporarily and was expensive. I tried some home remedies like vinegar and water but it didn't work. I finally came on here and searched for remedies and found this stuff. The first two times I used it all the gunk from inside her ear came up to the out ear. After that there wasn't anymore gunk coming out of her ear. I continued to use it for 3 weeks checking her ear with an otoscope before every use to see how dirty it was. After the 2nd week I started using it only every other day sometimes skipping two days and now 4 weeks after the first use her ear is spotless. The medicine completely got rid of the infection. I will post again in a couple months with an update.
EAR FUNGI CURE!!
This product was great. I wasn't expecting much when I have been battling ear infections all spring and summer with my Miniature schnauzers. Thanks to a great product the $16.00 product helped make my doggies feel better and saved me a vet visit adding up to over $200.00. Thank you!
Very long delivery...
I ordered this product 2 weeks ago and am still waiting for delivery. Tracking just shows "in transit". I can only imagine it was sent by carrier pigeon, meanwhile, my poor dog is suffering with an ear infection. I wouldn't recommend ordering nay type of medicine via amazon.
Simply thre best
I have a chocolate lab who is heavily prone to ear infections due to his breed. This product works so much better then anything you could get at the vet its almost unbelievable. Its also much cheaper then a trip to the vet too. I have used this multiple times and every time he has an inner ear infection it clears it up significantly within a few days and completely within a week. I highly recommend this as a first attempt at clearing an ear infection for any dog owner as it is very safe and much less expensive then a trip to the vet. The biggest thing to remember is to not clean your dogs ears beforehand as it actually uses the dirt to clean the inner ear.
Zymox Otic Pet Ear Treatment
I purchased this product not knowing if it would work ( normally I take my dog to vet for ear infection treatment- expensive!). Having seen my dog with several ear infections, I was confident this is what she had. The ear treatment worked great! The trick is in the application. You need to get enough in the ear canal and gently massage for several seconds (before the dog shakes its head). Two weeks of treatment and the infection went away! I tried other natural remedies before without success but this product worked like a charm!!! I would recommend this product to others.


Antifungal combination therapy in invasive fungal infections ...

Invasive fungal infections (candidiasis, aspergillosis and cryptococcosis) is a major complication in immunocompromised patients and account for significant morbidity and mortality. Guidelines on the first line treatment of invasive fungal infections are based on randomized clinical trials or guidelines for experts and include mainly single antifungal treatment, except for cryptococcosis. However, the prognosis of these severe infections raises the interest associations of antifungals, the first line or second line treatment, and many experimental data have been published on this issue.In humans, amphotericin B plus flucytosine combination therapy in cases of cryptococcal meningitis has been widely validated, particularly in patients infected with HIV....
