Pathophysiology of pulmonary aspergillosis

Journal of Infection and Chemotherapy, 2004
A description of the pathophysiology of aspergillosis is followed by a review of investigational considerations of animal models. Because a large body of invasive Aspergillus infection occurs as opportunistic infection, there is a large spectrum of the histopathological feature of lesions demonstrated at the site of infection.

Pulmonary aspergillosis in Argyll

British Journal of Diseases of the Chest, 1965
Summary All the chest radiographs taken in Argyll from 1954 to 1963 have been investigated and the fifty-six patients found to have residual tuberculous or other cavitation, with or without any suggestion of aspergilloma, have been examined further. Six of these (approximately one in ten) were discovered to have pulmonary aspergillomas.

Pulmonary Aspergillosis in Greece

Diseases of the Chest, 1952
Summary 1) Pulmonary aspergillosis is a rare disease difficult to diagnose because it is often confused with pulmonary tuberculosis. 2) In all cases of pulmonary affections where pulmonary tuberculosis is excluded, search for pulmonary aspergillosis should not be omitted.

Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1980
To 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

BRONCHO‐PULMONARY ASPERGILLOSIS

Australasian Annals of Medicine, 1964
SummaryThis is a survey of 14 cases of broncho‐pulmonary aspergillosis diagnosed during the six‐year period ended March, 1963. Dissemination of the fungus was found in only one case, this being also the only instance in which death could be attributed in large measure to the Aspergillus infection.

The spectrum of pulmonary aspergillosis

Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1988
THIS paper is a retrospective study of thirty-nine patients with lung disease, caused by aspergillus fumigatus, seen in two large general hospitals over a ten year period. The study was undertaken to establish the pattern and distribution of pulmonary aspergillosis in this group with particular emphasis on the nature of the underlying disorder ...

Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2004
Invasive 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.

The spectrum of pulmonary aspergillosis

Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 1992
Aspergillus species can produce a wide range of pulmonary disorders. Classically, pulmonary aspergillosis has been categorized into invasive, saprophytic, and allergic forms, all of which differ in their manifestations and therapy. More recently, however, other types of infection by this fungus have been recognized that do not fit into these ...
