Summaries for Microsporidiosis

About this section
Disease Ontology : 12 An opportunistic mycosis that results in systemic fungal infection in immunocompromised people, has material basis in Microsporidia phylum members.

MalaCards based summary : Microsporidiosis, also known as infection by microsporida, is related to encephalitozoonosis and diarrhea. An important gene associated with Microsporidiosis is METAP2 (Methionyl Aminopeptidase 2), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Blood-Brain Barrier Pathway: Anatomy and Imatinib Pathway, Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics. The drugs Emtricitabine and Zidovudine have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include kidney, small intestine and testes.
