1. 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

2. 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

3. 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

4. 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

5. Fungal infections in marrow transplant recipients under antifungal prophylaxis with fluconazole
Fungal infection is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality in bone marrow transplant (BMT) recipients. The growing incidence of these infections is related to several factors including prolonged granulocytopenia, use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, conditioning regimens, and use of immunosuppression to avoid graft-versus-host disease (GvH

6. Evaluation of PCR for Detection of DNA Specific for Aspergillus Species in Sera of Patients with Various Forms of Pulmonary Aspergillosis
Pulmonary aspergillosis is classified into invasive, saprophytic, and allergic forms. In this study, we evaluated the usefulness of PCR for differentiating between different forms of aspergillosis or in monitoring disease activity during treatment by detecting DNA specific for Aspergillus species in the serum. Nested PCR was used to detect Aspergillus DNA in

7. Significance of Aspergillus species isolated from respiratory secretions in the diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis.
To determine the significance of Aspergillus species isolated from sputum or other respiratory secretions with respect to the diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, the clinical records and radiographs of all patients whose respiratory secretion cultures yielded an Aspergillus species between 1972 and 1978 were reviewed. All known predispositions to

8. Locally invasive pulmonary aspergillosis occurring in a gardener: an occupational hazard?
Fatal locally invasive pulmonary aspergillosis occurred in a previously fit young patient who had no predisposing factors other than exposure to fungal spores in his occupation as a gardener.

9. Therapeutic monitoring of experimental invasive pulmonary aspergillosis by ultrafast computerized tomography, a novel, noninvasive method for measuring responses to antifungal therapy.
Pulmonary infiltrates in neutropenic hosts with invasive aspergillosis are due to vascular invasion and hemorrhagic infarction. In order to measure the effect of antifungal compounds on this organism-mediated tissue injury, we monitored the course of pulmonary infiltrates by serial ultrafast computerized tomography (UFCT) in persistently granulocytopenic rab

10. Chronic necrotising pulmonary aspergillosis caused by Aspergillus niger in a mildly immunocompromised host
A middle aged man with diabetes mellitus and chronic alcoholic hepatitis developed chronic necrotising pulmonary aspergillosis or semi-invasive aspergillosis due to Aspergillus niger.

11. Corticosteroid treatment as a risk factor for invasive aspergillosis in patients with lung disease.
Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis usually occurs in severely immunocompromised or neutropenic patients. Six patients with invasive aspergillosis are described whose only defence impairment was underlying lung disease and corticosteroid treatment. Cough, fever, and sputum production were the usual reasons for presentation and four patients developed the sepsis

12. Bronchoscopy findings in invasive pulmonary aspergillosis.
Two patients with invasive aspergillosis had unusual endobronchial appearances at fibreoptic bronchoscopy. Diagnosis was achieved by endobronchial biopsy.
