Laboratory diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis [PDF]

, 2005
Invasive aspergillosis occurs in a wide range of clinical scenarios, is protean in its manifestations, and is still associated with an unacceptably high mortality rate. Early diagnosis is critical to a favourable outcome, but is difficult to achieve with

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 ...

Association between polymorphisms in the genes encoding toll-like receptors and dectin-1 and susceptibility to invasive aspergillosis: a systematic review

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical
Invasive aspergillosis is a common fungal infection in immunocompromised individuals. Some studies have shown that toll-like receptor and dectin-1 genetic polymorphisms may alter signaling pathways, thus increasing an individual’s susceptibility to ...

Eosinophilia and Hypereosinophilia: A Practical Approach to Navigating a Broad Differential Diagnosis

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eosinophilia, defined as an absolute eosinophil count (AEC) of ≥ 0.5 × 109/L, is a frequently encountered finding with a vast spectrum of potential underlying etiologies. Hypereosinophilia (HE) is defined as AEC > 1.5 × 109/L and may become life‐threatening when eosinophil‐induced organ damage occurs, defining the hypereosinophilic syndrome ...

Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis complicating allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis

, 1995
Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is a frequent complication in immunocompromised patients. The role of the prolonged use of steroids in predisposing to invasive aspergillosis has been recognized, but exceptionally described in asthmatic patients.

Preventing infections after CD19‐directed chimeric antigen receptor T‐cell therapies for lymphoma: a consensus practice statement

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T‐cell therapies directed against cluster of differentiation 19 (CD19) are a standard of care for relapsed or refractory B‐cell lymphomas. Infection is the leading cause of non‐relapse mortality, and this risk may persist for years after CAR T‐cell receipt.

Lead‐Associated Superior Vena Cava Syndrome: Diagnostic Delay and the Role of Invasive Pressure Measurements

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome is an uncommon complication of transvenous cardiac device leads. Diagnosis may be challenging due to gradually developing and nonspecific symptoms. Furthermore, anatomical imaging does not always reflect the hemodynamic significance of venous stenosis.
