1. Elastin increases biofilm and extracellular matrix production of Aspergillus fumigatus
Abstract Aspergillus fumigatus is an opportunistic saprobe fungus that accounts for 90% of cases of pulmonary aspergillosis in immunosuppressed patients and is known for its angiotropism. When it reaches the respiratory tract, A. fumigatus interacts with structural components and blood vessels of the lungs, such as elastin. To understand the effect of this s

2. Complications of chronic necrotizing pulmonary aspergillosis: review of published case reports
ABSTRACT Chronic necrotizing pulmonary aspergillosis (CNPA), a form of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA), affects immunocompetent or mildly immunocompromised persons with underlying pulmonary disease. These conditions are associated with high morbidity and mortality and often require long-term antifungal treatment. The long-term prognosis for patients wi

3. The importance of risk factors for the prediction of patients with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis
Summary Objective: Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is a major challenge in the management of immunocompromised patients. Despite all the advances in diagnosis, it remains a problem. The purpose of our study was to investigate the risk factors associated with IPA seen in patients with hematological malignancies. Method: A total of 152 febrile neutrop

4. A DECADE TREND OF MULTIDRUG RESISTANT TUBERCULOSIS IN SÃO PAULO STATE, BRAZIL
SUMMARY The aim of this retrospective study was to review all the notified cases of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in São Paulo State (Brazil), as well as to describe and discuss the clinical, microbiological and radiologic aspects in a single reference center, within the same state, from 2000 to 2012. There were 1,097 notifications of MDR-TB in

6. Evolution of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis produced in mice treated with monoclonal antibodies anti GR-1/Ly-6G and infected with Aspergillus fumigatus strains which presented distincts patterns of production of elastase. / Evolução da aspergilose pulmonar invasiva produzida em camundongos tratados com anticorpos monoclonais anti GR-1/Ly-6G e infectados com amostras de Aspergillus fumigatus que apresentaram distintos padrões de produção de elastase
Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis (IPA) is an opportunistic fungal disease, caused mainly by Aspergillus fumigatus, that affects immunocompromised patients. To better understand this mycoses, we originally established in C57BL/6 mice an experimental model of neutrophils depletion by intraperitoneal inoculation of antibodies anti GR-1/Ly-6G, confirmed by total

7. Ocorrência de Aspergilose pulmonar em cães com sintomatologia respiratória atendidos no HCV- UFRGS, Porto Alegre
A pneumonia fúngica é uma infecção pulmonar profunda causada principalmente por fungos do gênero Aspergillus, incluindo A. fumigatus, A. niger, A. flavus e A. terreus. Se encontram mais comumente em matéria orgânica em decomposição. Seus propágulos estão presentes na poeira e no ar, o que favorece a inalação, porta principal de entrada do agente

8. Aspergilose invasiva em pacientes com doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica internados em unidade de terapia intensiva
Recent data have suggested that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may be an important risk factor for invasive aspergillosis (IA), particularly in the context of mechanical ventilation (MV) and therapy with corticosteroids. Here we present the results of a prospective multicentric study (2009-2010) conducted in three intensive care units (ICUs) in

9. Aspergillus niger causing tracheobronchitis and invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in a lung transplant recipient : case report / Aspergillus niger causando traqueobronquite e aspergilose pulmonar invasiva em transplantado de pulmão : relato de caso
Descreve-se um caso de aspergilose invasiva causada por Aspergillus niger em um paciente transplantado de pulmão com quadros hiperglicêmicos desde o pós-operatório e outras complicações como infecção por citomegalovírus. Os fatores predisponentes associados e outras implicações são discutidos. Aspergillus niger parece ser uma espécie fúngica de

10. Fungus ball in HIV-infected patients
Aspergillus is a phagocyte opportunistic fungus that causes aspergillosis, an unusual disease in patients with AIDS. Six cases of fungal ball in patients with AIDS are reported here. In this group, all patients had hemoptysis and tuberculosis as the underlying lung disease. The diagnosis of pulmonary fungus ball was based on the clinical and radiographic fea

11. Angioinvasive pulmonary aspergillosis after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation: clinical and high-resolution computed tomography findings in 12 cases
The aim of this study was to present the clinical and high-resolution CT scan findings of angioinvasive pulmonary aspergillosis (APA) in 12 patients who underwent allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). The CT scans were reviewed by three chest radiologists who assessed the pattern and distribution of findings by consent. There were 7 (58%) female and

12. Cerebral aspergillosis due to Aspergillus fumigatus in AIDS patient: first culture - proven case reported in Brazil
Cerebral aspergillosis is a rare cause of brain expansive lesion in AIDS patients. We report the first culture-proven case of brain abscess due to Aspergillus fumigatus in a Brazilian AIDS patient. The patient, a 26 year-old male with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and history of pulmonary tuberculosis and cerebral toxoplasmosis, had fever, cou
