Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2004Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is the most common fungal pulmonary infection in severely immunocompromised patients. Aspergillus species are commonly isolated from the soil, plant debris, and the indoor environment, including the hospital. Phagocytosis is the main host defense against Aspergillus conidia and hyphae.

Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1980To the Editor:— In reference to the article "Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis Associated With Influenza" by Fischer and Walker (241:1493, 1979), mention is made that invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is usually seen in the compromised host and that invasive disease is rare in normal persons. The authors mention only 13 cases of pulmonary aspergillosis

Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis
2014This 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.

Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis.
The Journal of the Oklahoma State Medical Association, 1988Invasive 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 ...

Experimental Murine Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis
American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1990A 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 and chronic pulmonary aspergillosis].
Revue medicale suisse, 2015Aspergillus 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 ...

Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis after near-drowning
Intensive Care Medicine, 1984After near-drowning following a car accident, a 27-year-old man developed severe ARDS. Six days later Aspergillus fumigatus was isolated in his sputum, and invasive pulmonary aspergillosis developed thereafter. Aspergillus titre increased, and chest tomograms revealed cavities in both lungs.

[Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis].
Acta medica portuguesa, 2003Aspergillosis, the most frequent of pulmonary mycosis, represents a group of varying pathogenesis diseases with the same etiological agent--Aspergillus. This fungus is a saprophyte of normal respiratory airways, but the disease occurs in immunocompromised hosts.

[Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis].
La Revue du praticien, 1989Infections caused by fungi of the genus Aspergillus have become a major and dangerous problem in the modern treatments of blood diseases using cytotoxic drugs. Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, generally caused by A. fumigans and A. flavius, is the usual clinical manifestation of the disease, but subacute forms have been described in patients with ...

Diagnosis of Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis
2016Culturing strains from clinical samples is the main method to diagnose invasive pulmonary aspergillosis. Detecting the galactomannan antigen in serum samples is an auxiliary examination. The goal of this study was to determine the frequency with which Aspergillus fumigatus was cultured in clinical samples taken from patients hospitalized in the the ...
