CDC's weekly US measles update: 1353 confirmed domestic cases (+9 brought in) in 30 states and NYC.
This is likely an undercount as it is only agency-confirmed cases.

Fig 1 Mechanism of action of different classes of antifungals. AmB is Amphotericin B; cAmB is the encochleated form of Amphotericin B; L-AmB is liposomal Amphotericin B.
Fig 2 Pharmacokinetic profile of liposomal amphotericin B
Fig 3 Amphotericin B (AmB) activity and fungal resistance mechanisms. The upper panel shows AmB’s dual action:pore formation via ergosterol binding and oligomerization, and the “sterol sponge” mechanism, which sequesters ergosterol from membranes. Mitochondria-associated oxidative stress also contributes to fungal killing. The lower panel summarizes key resistance strategies: (i) ergosterol pathway alterations, generating sterols with reduced AmB affinity; (ii) enhanced oxidative stress defenses, including increased catalase activity with a consequent reduction in oxidative stress response; and (iii) biofilm formation, limiting drug penetration
Fig 4 Recommendations for L-AmB therapy in resistant and refractory fungal infections.
