Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis [PDF]

, 2011
Aspergillus spp. often colonize the respiratory tract of the critically ill patients in the intensive care units and subsequently cause invasive disease. The risk of developing invasive disease is more in immunocompromised patients. Here we report a case

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

ChemFoodChem, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2026.
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 ...

Prolonged molecular control during intermittent reduced‐intensity blinatumomab maintenance in a transplant‐ineligible patient with Philadelphia chromosome‐positive acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and IKZF1 deletion

Clinical &Translational Immunology, Volume 15, Issue 9, 2026.
Abstract Objectives Long‐term disease control in transplant‐ineligible patients with high‐risk Philadelphia chromosome‐positive acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (Ph+ ALL) remains difficult, particularly when adverse genetic lesions and acquired kinase domain mutations coexist.

Clinical Value of Metagenomic Next‐Generation Sequencing Versus Conventional Methods in Diagnosing Cryptococcal Infection After Kidney Transplantation

Organ Medicine, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 130-138, September 2026.
This retrospective study evaluated metagenomic next‑generation sequencing (mNGS) against conventional methods (India ink, culture, antigen) for diagnosing cryptococcal infection in 16 kidney transplant recipients. mNGS showed a significantly higher positivity rate (93.8% vs 62.5%, p = 0.031) and shorter turnaround time (24 vs. 120 h, p < 0.001).

Endobronchial Aspergillosis Presenting as an Isolated Airway Lesion in an Immunocompromised Patient

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Endobronchial Aspergillus infection should be considered in immunocompromised patients presenting with airway obstruction, even in the absence of parenchymal lung involvement. This case highlights the potential for rapid clinical deterioration and the diagnostic challenges in distinguishing endobronchial aspergillosis from more aggressive forms of ...

Semi-invasive aspergillosis in an immunocompetent patient with Swyer-James-MacLeod Syndrome: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2010
Introduction Invasive and semi-invasive pulmonary aspergillosis usually occurs in immunocompromised patients. It has been described occasionally in patients with normal immunity and previous lung disease such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ...

Atypical Fibrotic‐Mimicking Pulmonary Sarcoidosis in a Young Female: The Basal Conundrum

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
We present a case of pulmonary sarcoidosis in a young female who had a confounding basal‐peripheral phenotype, eventually diagnosed through endobronchial biopsy showing non‐necrotizing granulomas with asteroid bodies. ABSTRACT Pulmonary sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disease characterized by the formation of non‐caseating granulomas; it ...

Inhaled Voriconazole For Prevention Of Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis [PDF]

, 2009
Targeted airway delivery of antifungals as prophylaxis against invasive aspergillosis may lead to high lung drug concentrations while avoiding toxicities associated with systemically administered agents. We evaluated the effectiveness of aerosolizing the

Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in a patient with cirrhosis

IDCases, 2020
Aspergillus molds are ubiquitous environmental molds that can cause devastating invasive infections in immunocompromised patients. These infections often go unrecognized in critically ill patients. This case describes a 68 year-old female resident of a long-term nursing facility with history of dementia, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease with cirrhosis,
