Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis

2014
This chapter provides a review of the spectrum of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA), including its epidemiology, clinical and radiographic presentation, outcomes, and unique situations related to IPA. Over 200 species of Aspergillus are known, although only a few have been reported as pathogenic to humans.

A Case of Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis

Clinical Laboratory
Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is a deep fungal infection caused by invasion of Aspergillus mycelium into the lung parenchyma resulting in tissue destruction and necrosis, which occurs more often in im-munosuppressed populations. The severity of the disease and the rapid progression of the lung lesions puts pa¬tients at high risk of death and ...

Pneumopericardium due to invasive pulmonary aspergillosis

Journal of Infection and Chemotherapy, 2007
We describe a 59-year-old female patient with leukemia who developed pneumopericardium as a complication of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis. Spiral computed tomography (CT) was very helpful for the detection of such complications.

Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis.

The Journal of the Oklahoma State Medical Association, 1988
Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is an opportunistic pneumonia which is particularly common in immuno-depressed subjects. The most frequent risk factors are the intensity and duration of leucopaenia, cytotoxic drugs and steroid therapy. In the respiratory tract, the proliferation of Aspergillus fumigatus becomes possible when there is a failure of the ...

[Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis and chronic pulmonary aspergillosis].

Revue medicale suisse, 2015
Aspergillus pulmonary infection causes a spectrum of diverse diseases according to host immunity. The two major entities are invasive pulmonary aspergillosis and chronic pulmonary aspergillosis. The later can be divided into aspergilloma, then into chronic cavitary, more or less fibrosing aspergillosis, and finally into chronic necrotizing ...

Experimental Murine Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis

American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1990
A new model of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) was developed in immunosuppressed mice. Intranasal route of inoculation was used to deliver predictable numbers of Aspergillus flavus conidia. The LD50 was determined to be 2.7 X 10(2) viable conidia, and a combination of quantitative culture and determination of chitin content was shown to best ...

Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis in Nonimmunocompromised Hosts

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2019
AbstractInvasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is a fungal infection that is the hallmark of severe cellular or complex immune alterations. Evidence that IPA can occur in nonimmunocompromised hosts is increasing. Actually, up to 1% of general intensive care unit (ICU) patients present positive samples with Aspergillus spp.

Thoracoscopic Lingulectomy for Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis

The American Surgeon™, 2007
Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is associated with a high mortality rate in immunocompromised patients. Surgery has a therapeutic role for selected patients when the main objective is to achieve infection control with minimal lung resection.

Recent advances in invasive pulmonary aspergillosis

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2011
This review highlights the most important and salient recent developments with regards to invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA), currently the most common opportunistic fungal pneumonia in patients with hematological malignancies.Besides patients in hematology units, other immunosuppressed and critically ill patients are also at risk of IPA ...

Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis with pneumopericardium and pneumothorax

Pediatric Radiology, 1992
A case of an invasive pulmonary aspergillosis with pneumopericardium and pneumothorax in an immunocompromised child of 5 years is reported. He was treated with thoracic drainage, amphotericin B and itraconazole. The course was satisfactory.
