Abstract
Previous reports of sparganosis have verified the effects of immunosuppressive therapy to the onset of sparganosis 2 . Other reports have also found the absence of eosinophilia, presumably related to the immunosuppressive state of the patient. This indicates that the normal predictive value of eosinophilia on blood tests is unlikely to be present in patients with immunosuppression cases of multiple sparganosis which has been most frequently reported in immunocompromised patients. This underscores the importance of not only sus-pecting a parasitic infection in immunocompromised patients with a movable mass, but also taking all necessary steps to avoid the parasite from disseminating throughout the body including close observation.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of mycology and infection (Acronym: JMI, Abbreviation: J Mycol Infect) aims to publish articles of exceptional interests in the field of medical mycology. The journal originally was launched in 1996 as the Korean Journal of Medical Mycology and has reformed into the current state beginning on March of 2018. The contents of the journal should elucidate important microbiological fundamentals and provide qualitative insights to respective clinical aspects. JMI underlines the submission of novel findings and studies in clinical mycology that are enriched by analyses achieved through investigative methods. The journal should be of general interests to the scientific communities at large and should provide medical societies with advanced breadth and depth of mycological expertise. In addition, the journal supplements infectious diseases in adjunct to the field of mycology to address a well-rounded understanding of infectious disorders. The Journal of mycology and infection, which is issued quarterly, in March, June, September and December each year, published in English. The scope of the Journal of mycology and infection includes invited reviews, original articles, case reports, letter to the editor, and images in mycology. The journal is compliant to peer-review/open access and all articles undergo rigorous reviewing processes by our internationally acknowledged team of editorial boards. The articles directed to publication should encompass in-depth materials that employ scholastic values of mycology and various infectious diseases. Articles responding to critical methodology and outcomes which have potential to enhance better understanding of mycology and infectious diseases are also suitable for publication.
