Invasive Aspergillosis in AIDS
Southern Medical Journal, 1991Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis was diagnosed in two patients with HIV infection, one with prolonged neutropenia and another receiving corticosteroid therapy. We found 17 additional cases in the literature. A known predisposing risk factor for invasive aspergillosis, eg, neutropenia, corticosteroid use, or intravenous drug abuse, was present in 79% of

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1987Aspergillosis may complicate the course of the child in an immunocompromised state. When sinus or pulmonary infections present in immunocompromised children, one third of these patients are diagnosed accurately premortem as resulting from aspergillosis and two thirds remain undiagnosed.

Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2004Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is the most common fungal pulmonary infection in severely immunocompromised patients.

Invasive Aspergillosis in Patients with AIDS
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1994The prolonged survival of profoundly immunocompromised patients with AIDS has contributed to the increasing recognition of aspergillus infections as an emerging problem. Nevertheless, many of these infections continue to be diagnosed only at autopsy. In this article we review details of 293 reported cases. Invasive aspergillosis occurs in advanced AIDS

Detection of Invasive Aspergillosis
2010Invasive aspergillosis (IA) caused by the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus is a frequent and life-threatening complication of chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation with high rates of mortality and morbidity. Diagnosis of IA is complex and can only be confirmed by identification of the fungus in biopsy samples.
