Characteristics and Outcomes of Patients with Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis and Respiratory Tract Aspergillus Colonization from a Tertiary University Hospital in Thailand

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Positive culture for Aspergillus spp. from respiratory specimens needs to be interpreted together with relevant clinical conditions/settings to differentiate invasive infection from colonization.

Therapeutic effects of Rheumatoid Arthritis on Aspergillosis development [PDF]

Reviews in Clinical Medicine, 2020
Aspergillosis is a common fungal infection with systemic characteristics, which is caused by various species of Aspergillus. The infection could develop in immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients under specific circumstances. Based on the clinical

Comparison of quantitative real time PCR with Sequencing and ribosomal RNA-FISH for the identification of fungi in Formalin fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue specimens [PDF]

, 2011
Background: Identification of the causative agents of invasive fungal infections (IFI) is critical for guiding antifungal therapy. Cultures remain negative in a substantial number of IFI cases.

Aspergillosis in Chronic Granulomatous Disease

Journal of Fungi, 2016
Patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) have the highest life-time incidence of invasive aspergillosis and despite the availability of antifungal prophylaxis, infections by Aspergillus species remain the single most common infectious cause of ...

Peroral amphotericin B polymer nanoparticles lead to comparable or superior in vivo antifungal activity to that of intravenous Ambisome® or Fungizone™

, 2011
Background: Despite advances in the treatment, the morbidity and mortality rate associated with invasive aspergillosis remains unacceptably high (70–90%) in immunocompromised patients.

In Vitro Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Modeling of Voriconazole Activity against Aspergillus Species in a New In Vitro Dynamic Model [PDF]

, 2012
The pharmacodynamics (PD) of voriconazole activity against Aspergillus spp. were studied using a new in vitro dynamic model simulating voriconazole human pharmacokinetics (PK), and the PK-PD data were bridged with human drug exposure to assess the ...

Performance of serum biomarkers for the early detection of invasive aspergillosis in febrile, neutropenic patients: a multi-state model. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The performance of serum biomarkers for the early detection of invasive aspergillosis expectedly depends on the timing of test results relative to the empirical administration of antifungal therapy during neutropenia, although a dynamic evaluation ...

Immunotherapy of invasive fungal infection in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients

, 2013
Despite the availability of new antifungal compounds, invasive fungal infection remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children and adults undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Allogeneic HSCT recipients

Prophylaxis of invasive aspergillosis with voriconazole or caspofungin during building work in patients with acute leukemia

Haematologica, 2010
Background Invasive aspergillosis is a common life-threatening infection in patients with acute leukemia. The presence of building work near to hospital wards in which these patients are cared for is an important risk factor for the development of ...
