Invasive aspergillosis mimicking metastatic lung cancer [PDF]

, 2018
In a patient with a medical history of cancer, the most probable diagnosis of an (18)FDG-avid pulmonary mass combined with intracranial abnormalities on brain imaging is metastasized cancer.

A case of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis during treatment for acute exacerbation of interstitial lung disease

Infectious Disease Reports, 2018
Prolonged immunosuppressive therapy is a risk factor for invasive pulmonary aspergillosis. We report a case of a 79-yearold man who underwent immunosuppressive therapy with methylprednisolone and cyclosporine for an acute exacerbation of interstitial ...

Cytokine profiling of pulmonary aspergillosis [PDF]

International Journal of Immunogenetics, 2006
Summary Aspergillus fumigatus is ubiquitous and yet causes invasive, chronic and allergic disease of the lung. Chronic cavitary pulmonary aspergillosis (CCPA) is a slowly destructive form of pulmonary aspergillosis, without immunocompromise. We hypothesized that CCPA cytokine gene polymorphisms would differ from patients with allergic bronchopulmonary ...

Development and Validation of In‐House Conventional and Multiplex PCR Methods for the Detection and Identification of Lophomonas spp.: An Innovative Approach

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 39, Issue 12, June 2025.
Sequence alignment of the SSU rRNA of the two Lophomonas species, L. blattarum and L. striata. The red rectangle highlights the position of the reverse universal primer; the yellow, the L. blattarum‐specific forward primer; and the green, the L. striata‐specific forward primer used in multiplex PCR.

A Case of Cryobiopsy of a Large Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis‐Associated Mucus Plug

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2025.
We report a rare case of an allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis‐associated large mucus plug that was removed by cryobiopsy. When grasped during forceps biopsy, mucus plugs, which are soft tissue, can collapse, making them difficult to remove. Cryobiopsy is a more suitable way to remove mucus plugs because it freezes the plugs, allowing them to be ...

Pulmonary Oxalosis in Pulmonary Aspergillosis Syndrome

Advances in Respiratory Medicine, 2020
The presence of pulmonary oxalosis in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) or biopsied tissue samples is considered pathognomonic for Aspergillus disease etiology. The finding of calcium oxalate crystals in the tissue samples infected with aspergillosis can serve as a vital diagnostic clue. Detection of calcium oxalate crystals is achievable within 24 hours by

Finger‐In‐Glove Sign in Congenital Bronchial Atresia

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2025.
We present a case of congenital lung malformation diagnosed in a previously healthy 45‐year‐old female who presented with intermittent cough and whose chest computed tomography showed the finger‐in‐glove sign. ABSTRACT A previously healthy 45‐year‐old female presented with intermittent cough. Chest computed tomography showed finger‐in‐glove sign. Blood
