Disseminated cerebral aspergillosis complicated by thrombotic microangiopathy
Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a serious condition that can affect almost any organ. Cerebral aspergillosis itself is rapidly fatal without treatment. We report a case of disseminated cerebral IA in a patient exposed to cyclophosphamide, rituximab and ...

Interpretable Machine Learning Model for Fungal Infection Prediction: A Real‐World Study
Our study successfully developed and validated a machine learning model based on large‐scale electronic health record data to predict the risk of fungal infections in hospitalized patients. Through a Streamlit‐powered web platform, the model was seamlessly embedded into clinical workflows, completing the full pipeline from model construction to real ...

Therapeutic Outcome in Invasive Aspergillosis [PDF]
A review of series of > or = 4 cases of invasive aspergillosis (total, 1,223 cases) was undertaken to establish the crude mortality and rate of response to therapy with amphotericin B in the major at-risk host groups. In association with pulmonary, sinus, and cerebral aspergillosis in immunocompromised patients, the crude mortality rates were 86%, 66%,

Treatment of invasive aspergillosis with itraconazole
PURPOSE: Invasive aspergillosis in the immunocompromised host is one of the most difficult therapeutic problems. Itraconazole, a new oral triazole, is inhibitory as well as fungicidal against Aspergillus species in vitro. It is active against Aspergillus
