Pretty exciting to see oral amphotericin behaving comparably to IV amphotericin for #HIV associated #Cryptococcus #meningitis
Phase 2 open label #RCT, so not quite there yet, but big potential win in simplicity and access to treatment for
#Cryptococcusneoformans & other #fungal diseases, potentially even #mucor

Lactophenol cotton blue stained #Mucor sp. There are blue stained #hyphae without clear septa poking out from a tangled core. The core is full of mature and immature #sporangia looking like smooth round structures and collections of small spores respectively. The tangle has a little more purple to it. One prominent hypha ends in a smooth immature sporangia.
