{"doi":"10.33424/futurum562","title":"Diagnosing the fungal infection talaromycosis earlier to save lives","abstract":"Diagnosing the fungal infection talaromycosis earlier to save livesTalaromycosis is a fungal infection found in Southeast Asia and is life-threatening for people living with HIV and other immunocompromising conditions.The disease has non-specific smouldering symptoms and spreads to multiple organs before diagnosis is made.Current diagnosis is made by culturing the fungus from patient specimens, but this is a process that takes anywhere between 5 days to four weeks, delaying diagnosis and making treatments less effective.Dr Thuy Le, of Duke University School of Medicine in the US, has found a new way to test for talaromycosis, with the aim of diagnosing the disease earlier and saving lives.","journal":null,"year":2025,"id":561020,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":0,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.9534,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2025-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":3872,"name":"Thuy Le","orcid":"0000-0002-3393-6580","position":0,"is_corresponding":true}],"reference_count":0,"raw_metadata":null,"created_at":"2026-07-19T02:55:46.921885Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
