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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Invasive sphenoidal aspergillosis: successful treatment with sphenoidotomy and voriconazole [PDF]

, 2007
Treatment of invasive sphenoidal aspergillosis is surgical, followed by antifungal therapy, mostly amphotericin B. To optimize the adjuvant antifungal treatment, which is often limited by severe side effects, the new triazole antifungal agent ...

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 ...

Cerebral vasculitis due to Aspergillus spp. in immunocompromised patients: literature review

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2022
Objectives: Invasive aspergillosis is a threat for immunocompromised patients. We present a case series of aggressive cerebral vasculitis caused by Aspergillus spp. infection in immunocompromised patients.

Pharmacodynamic Effects of Simulated Standard Doses of Antifungal Drugs against Aspergillus Species in a New In Vitro Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Model [PDF]

, 2011
In conventional MIC tests, fungi are exposed to constant drug concentrations, whereas in vivo, fungi are exposed to changing drug concentrations.

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 ...

Fungal Antimicrobial Resistance: Mechanisms, Drivers, and Global Clinical Burden

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fungal antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing concern for world health caused by an increase in multidrug‐resistant infections, an increase in environmental reservoirs, and the ineffectiveness of current antifungal treatments. Fungal infections continue to be largely excluded from AMR initiatives while causing over 1.6 million deaths ...

Invasive pulmonary mucormycosis and aspergillosis in a patient with decompensated hepatic cirrhosis

Medical Mycology Case Reports, 2018
Invasive pulmonary mucormycosis and aspergillosis are rare, life-threatening fungal infections. Most documented cases have been reported in non-cirrhotic patients with diabetes mellitus, neutropenia, or treatment with corticosteroids.
