Invasive fungal infection by Aspergillus flavus in immunocompetent hosts: A case series and literature review

Medical Mycology Case Reports, 2019
Invasive aspergillosis usually affects immunocompromised hosts with variable manifestations depending on the site of infection. In this article, we present two cases of invasive Aspergillosis in two non-immunocompromised patients; both cases had a ...

Inflammation‐driven variability in drug metabolism: Insights from voriconazole treatment of HSCT recipients

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Voriconazole is commonly used to prevent fungal infections after haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Although its metabolism is influenced by CYP2C19 genetics and inflammation, their combined effect is rarely considered in clinical practice, and integrated analyses remain limited.

Germination of Aspergillus fumigatus inside avian respiratory macrophages is associated with cytotoxicity [PDF]

, 2012
Although aspergillosis is one of the most common diseases in captive birds, the pathogenesis of avian aspergillosis is poorly known. We studied the role of avian respiratory macrophages as a first line of defense against avian aspergillosis.

A Case for Anti‐IgE Vaccination

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Immunoglobulin E (IgE) plays a central role in allergic diseases by binding to the high‐affinity receptor FcεRI on mast cells and basophils, where allergen‐induced crosslinking triggers potent inflammatory responses. Various mechanisms by which IgE responses are generated and functionally regulated remain elusive despite many years of research.

Primary intestinal aspergillosis resulting in acute intestinal volvulus after autologous stem cell transplantation in a patient with relapsed non-Hodgkin lymphoma : report on a rare infectious complication and a review of the literature

, 2019
Objectives: Since primary intestinal aspergillosis is a severe infectious complication with a high morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients, we want to draw attention to this rare entity and the importance of early recognition.

IL‐33 Drives Inflammatory Changes and Extracellular Trap Formation in Eosinophils Involving Oxidised LDL and Complement Pathways

Allergy, EarlyView.
IL‐33 induces inflammatory gene signatures in eosinophils, characterised by the upregulation of cell surface markers, inflammatory mediators and regulatory factors, all of which were also observed in nasal polyp‐derived eosinophils. Ox‐LDL and complement fragments (C3a and C5a) promote eosinophil adhesion and survival.

Invasive aspergillosis in an immunocompetent patient with fever and a cardiac mass

Infectious Disease Reports, 2011
Invasive aspergillosis is an often fatal disease that usually occurs in immunocompromised patients. We report a case of invasive aspergillosis presenting as a febrile respiratory infection with a cardiac mass in an immunocompetent patient.
