Limited Risk of Microbial Contamination During Hypothermic and Normothermic Machine Perfusion of Donor Kidneys

open access: yesTransplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Machine perfusion is increasingly used to preserve donor kidneys. Theoretically, machine perfusion poses as a risk of contamination. We investigated perfusion samples. Our findings show that even though contamination of the perfusate does occur, this did not lead to infectious complications in the recipients.

An Economic Evaluation of Voriconazole versus Amphotericin B for the Treatment of Invasive Aspergillosis in Canada

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, 2004
BACKGROUND: Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a serious fungal infection that affects immunocompromised patients. The Global Comparative Aspergillosis study demonstrated that voriconazole, a new broad-spectrum triazole, had better responses and improved ...

Aspergillus After Lung Transplantation: Prophylaxis, Risk Factors, and the Impact on Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction

open access: yesTransplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Out of 274 lung transplant (LTx) patients, 89 (32%) developed invasive aspergillosis IA. Factors associated with IA were mycophenolate mofetil use, airway stenosis, Aspergillus cultured pre‐LTx, chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), and acute rejection. The role of nebulized amphotericin B and statins for prevention of IA remains unclear. ABSTRACT

The Challenge of Bacterial Infections During Intensive Care Unit Stay After Heart Transplantation

open access: yesTransplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Infections occurring in the early post–heart transplant (HT) period heavily contribute to morbidity and mortality. Our goal is to evaluate the incidence of hospital‐acquired pneumonia/ventilator‐associated pneumonia (HAP/VAPs) and/or bloodstream infections (BSIs) after HT during the intensive care unit (ICU) stay and identify their ...

Aspergillus spondylodiscitis in a patient with liver cirrhosis and diabetes mellitus

open access: yesZdravniški Vestnik, 2014
Aspergillus osteomyelitis is a rare manifestation of invasive aspergillosis which accounts for 1.8% to 5.6% of all invasive aspergillosis forms. As other forms of invasive aspergillosis, it predominantly occurs in immunosupressed patients with well ...

Urbanisation and Lockdown Impact on Airborne Fungal Communities in Tropical Landscapes: A Comparative Study of Urban and Peri‐Urban Environments

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2025.
This study assessed the distribution of fungal bioaerosols in tropical urban and peri‐urban environments. Using a six‐stage Andersen cascade impactor and a Bayesian neural network, fungal concentrations were predicted with an accuracy of 76.87%. It highlights the role of environmental factorsin fungal dispersion, associated respiratory risks, and ...

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

open access: yesMedical 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 ...
