2. 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

3. Formação de uma aspergilloma em sarcoidose com cavitação
A cavitação pulmonar é rara em pacientes com sarcoidose, e o aspergiloma é ainda mais raro nestes casos. Apresentamos o caso de uma paciente de 63 anos com doença pulmonar cavitária em tratamento para a TB por 9 meses. Estabeleceu-se o diagnóstico de sarcoidose pulmonar com base nos achados de granuloma não-caseoso na fibrobroncoscopia. Houve grande

4. Treatment of pulmonary aspergilloma in cystic fibrosis by percutaneous instillation of amphotericin B via indwelling catheter.
Pulmonary aspergilloma is a rare complication of cystic fibrosis and is a contraindication to transplantation. The elimination of an aspergilloma in a 24 year old patient with cystic fibrosis by percutaneous instillation of amphotericin B is described, enabling her to be accepted on a lung transplantation programme.

5. Immunological study of pulmonary aspergilloma
The various phases of pulmonary aspergilloma, as described by Pimentel, are discussed and the results of an investigation of possible cases of this disease in patients whose condition made its presence likely are presented. A systematic search for Aspergillus precipitins in the sera of 136 patients was undertaken with A. fumigatus antigens. By this method tw

6. Postirradiation pulmonary fibrosis complicated by aspergilloma and bronchocentric granulomatosis.
An asthmatic patient requiring corticosteroid treatment developed a pulmonary aspergilloma in an area of postmastectomy radiation fibrosis. At necropsy bronchocentric granulomatosis was also found.

7. Treatment of pulmonary aspergilloma with itraconazole.
In a 12 month open study of itraconazole in pulmonary aspergilloma nine patients received oral itraconazole 200 mg daily for six months followed by further itraconazole or observation for a further six months. There was no change in the serum IgG specific for Aspergillus fumigatus (mean (SE) change -4% (10%)) or symptoms of chronic cough and haemoptysis. In

8. Management of pulmonary aspergilloma in the presence of active tuberculosis.
Eleven cases of pulmonary aspergilloma complicating active cavitating pulmonary tuberculosis are reviewed. Nine of the 10 patients who had combined medical (antituberculosis drugs) and surgical treatment were cured of their disease; one patient, who had bilateral multiple aspergillomas, died from massive haemoptysis after resection of one of the affected lob

9. Pulmonary aspergilloma in a patient with AIDS.
Aspergillus infections are rare in the course of AIDS. They mostly occur as invasive destructive disease in patients with severe CD4 cell depletion. An unusual case of a homosexual AIDS patient who developed a pulmonary aspergilloma is presented.

10. Squamous cell carcinoma occurring in the wall of a chronic aspergilloma.
An aspergilloma that occurred within an area of bronchiectasis in a 52 year old man persisted for 12 years despite medical and surgical treatment. A squamous cell carcinoma developed in the wall of the cavity.

11. Aspergillus fumigatus-specific antibodies in allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis and aspergilloma: evidence for a polyclonal antibody response.
Patients with the Aspergillus-induced diseases allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), aspergilloma (fungus ball), and Aspergillus skin test-positive asthma were differentiated immunologically by radioimmunoassay based on their total immunoglobulin E (IgE) and Aspergillus fumigatus-specific IgE levels. In this study, a new, highly sensitive biotin-av

12. An 88-kilodalton antigen secreted by Aspergillus fumigatus.
An 88-kDa component secreted in vitro by Aspergillus fumigatus has been purified by sequential chromatographic procedures. The molecule is a glycoprotein with an N-linked sugar moiety composed of mannose glucose, and galactose (16:10:1). It is recognized by antibodies from patients with aspergilloma and has potential for the immunodiagnosis of aspergilloma.
