Aspergillus After Lung Transplantation: Prophylaxis, Risk Factors, and the Impact on Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Out of 274 lung transplant (LTx) patients, 89 (32%) developed invasive aspergillosis IA. Factors associated with IA were mycophenolate mofetil use, airway stenosis, Aspergillus cultured pre‐LTx, chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), and acute rejection. The role of nebulized amphotericin B and statins for prevention of IA remains unclear. ABSTRACT

Development of Highly Efficient Universal Pneumocystis Primers and Their Application in Investigating the Prevalence and Genetic Diversity of Pneumocystis in Wild Hares and Rabbits

Journal of Fungi
Despite its ubiquitous infectivity to mammals with strong host specificity, our current knowledge about Pneumocystis has originated from studies of merely 4% of extant mammalian species. Further studies of Pneumocystis epidemiology across a broader range

Bacteremia in Pediatric Solid Organ Transplant Recipients within 1 Year of Transplant

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
We retrospectively reviewed bloodstream infections (BSI) in pediatric recipients of solid organ transplants over a 14‐year period. Overall BSI rates were significant but decreased over time. Risk factors for BSI were identified which may help identify interventions which further decrease rates.

Microarray studies on effects of Pneumocystis carinii infection on global gene expression in alveolar macrophages

BMC Microbiology, 2010
Background Pneumocystis pneumonia is a common opportunistic disease in AIDS patients. The alveolar macrophage is an important effector cell in the clearance of Pneumocystis organisms by phagocytosis.

Integrating tuberculosis and HIV services in low- and middle-income countries: a systematic review.

, 2012
OBJECTIVES: Given the imperative to scale up integrated tuberculosis (TB) and HIV services in settings where both are of major public health importance, we aimed to synthesise knowledge concerning implementation of TB/HIV service integration.

Point‐of‐Care Testing by Multiplex‐PCR in Different Compartments in Suspected Lower Respiratory Tract Infection After Lung Transplantation—Results of a Prospective Study

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Use of POCtmPCR with noninvasive samples (NPS and sputum) in LTx recipients with viral LRTI are a viable alternative to invasive BAL sampling, ABSTRACT Background Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality following lung transplantation (LTx).

Genetic characterization of Pneumocystis jirovecii in patients dying of AIDS, IPK, 1995-2008

Biotecnología Aplicada
Pneumocystis jirovecii is a frequent opportunistic pathogen in HIV/AIDS. The inability to culture this species prevents from acquiring deeper knowledge about its biology, drug susceptibility as well as the epidemiology of the disease that it produces ...
