Acute invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a devastating disease. Early diagnosis allowing an early treatment may improve the prognosis. However, this goal remains difficult to achieve. When diagnosis is confirmed it is often already too late. Galactomannan antigen detection and DNA detection are under clinical evaluation to improve early diagnosis and ...

Abstract Cases of Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis(IPA) are typically associated with immunocompromised states but can be seen in immunocompetent patients with underlying lung disease or recent influenza infection. We present a case of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL)-proven invasive IPA in an immunocompetent patient that was complicated ...

Clinical periodontal diagnosis
Abstract Periodontal diseases include pathological conditions elicited by the presence of bacterial biofilms leading to a host response. In the diagnostic process, clinical signs such as bleeding on probing, development of periodontal pockets and gingival recessions, furcation involvement and presence of radiographic bone loss should be assessed prior ...

Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis
Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is growing in incidence, as patients at risk are growing in diversity. Outside the classical context of neutropenia, new risk factors are emerging or newly identified, such as new anticancer drugs, viral pneumonias and hepatic dysfunctions. Clinical signs remain unspecific in these populations and the diagnostic work-up

Invasive aspergillosis a complication severe respiratory viral infections (influenza and COVID-19)
Invasive aspergillosis is a life-threatening complication in patients with severe influenza and COVID-19 in intensive care units. Risk factors for the invasive aspergillosis development are transitory immunosuppression associated with severe influenza ...

Pediatric Invasive Aspergillosis [PDF]
Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a disease of increasing importance in pediatrics due to growth of the immunocompromised populations at risk and improvements in long-term survival for many of these groups. While general principles of diagnosis and therapy apply similarly across the age spectrum, there are unique considerations for clinicians who care for

Major progress for the management of invasive aspergillosis has come from the introduction of new antifungals since the late 1990s. Although mortality of invasive aspergillosis remains as high as 30-50%.

Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is associated with high mortality. For diagnosis, galactomannan-antigen in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid is recommended, with higher sensitivity in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.
