It can occur in people with healthy or suppressed immune systems. In people with healthy immune systems, it usually causes mild or moderate lung problems. In people with suppressed immune systems, aspergillosis can cause serious lung problems and can also spread to other organs, including the kidneys, liver, skin, bones, and brain. Because these more severe forms of aspergillosis can be life threatening, it is important to diagnose and treat this infection quickly. Aspergillosis is caused by Aspergillus , a group of fungi. It is very difficult to avoid these fungi, as they are found throughout the environment. Aspergillus can be found in soil, decomposing plants, household dust, building materials, ornamental plants, food, and water. Dirt, dust, or other materials containing Aspergillus can easily travel through the air and be inhaled into the lungs. People who smoke marijuana, which can contain

The disease is contracted as the result of inhalation of spores. It may also be contracted by oral ingestion. In birds, as well as their human counterparts, the disease is usually developed when that individual has a compromised immune system, which may be suppressed by a concurrent illness, malnutrition and most especially, stress. Aspergillosis is frequently seen in birds subjected to surgery, reproduction, environmental changes, and confinement or transporting. We commonly see this disease in raptors that come to our Center during the winter months when conditions for the fungus are optimal. Aspergillus spp.

Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA) Clinical Information: This 35 year old female has had asthma since age 3. Exacerbations of her asthma were frequent and characterized by sudden onset of malaise, pleuritic chest pain, cough, and wheezing. She was diagnosed with ABPA at age 23 after a work-up identified increased serum IgE, increased serum eosinophils, positive skin test to Aspergillus, and proximal bronchiectasis. Imaging: The CXR shows bronchial wall thickening and impressive central bronchiectasis. The CT demonstrates varicoid and cystic central bronchiectasis in all 5 lobes and mucous plugging. Discussion: ABPA was first described by Hinson in the United Kingdom in 1952. Diagnostic criteria for ABPA include the presence of asthma,a history of pulmonary infiltrates, peripheral blood eosinophilia, immediate-type skin reactivity, serum precipitating antibodies toAspergillus-specific IgE and IgG and central (proximal) bronchiectasis. The disease is being recognized more frequentlydue to increased physician awareness and better diagnostic techniques. Bronchiectasis alone may be present in patients with asthma not complicated by ABPA but it is uncommon for asthmatics withoutABPA to have severe forms of bronchiectasis involving multiple lobes. High-resolution CT has a sensitivity and specificity for bronchiectasis approaching that of bronchography and, unlike bronchography, can be performed safely and quickly on all patients.

From The Cochrane Library, Issue 2, 2004 Azoles for allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis associated with asthma (Cochrane Review) Wark PAB, Gibson PG, Wilson AJ ABSTRACT Order full review View and/or submit comments What's new in this issue Search abstracts ... Browse by Review Group A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 17 February 2003. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis is hypersensitivity to the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus that complicates patients with asthma and cystic fibrosis. The mainstay of treatment for allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis remains oral corticosteroids, though this does not completely prevent exacerbations and may not prevent the decline in lung function. Objectives: The purpose of this review was to determine the efficacy of azoles in the treatment of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. Search strategy: We searched the Cochrane Airways Group Asthma trials register using the terms: (allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis OR aspergillosis OR allergic pulmonary aspergillosis OR allergic fungal and disease OR allergic mycotic and disease) AND (azole OR triazole OR itraconazole OR ketoconazole). Date of last search January 2003. Selection criteria: All controlled trials that assessed the effect of azole antifungal agents compared to placebo or other standard therapy for allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis were reviewed. Patients with cystic fibrosis were not included.

ABOUT US INVESTOR RELATIONS NEWS CAREERS ... Applied Research AMPHOTEC® (amphotericin B cholesteryl sulfate complex) is an FDA approved lipid form of amphotericin B indicated for the treatment of invasive aspergillosis in patients where renal impairment or unacceptable toxicity precludes the use of amphotericin B deoxycholate in effective doses, and in patients with invasive aspergillosis where prior amphotericin B deoxycholate therapy has failed. There are approximately 200,000 cases of systemic fungal infection each year in the United States. Worldwide sales of all amphotericin B-based products are approximately $300 million per year. It is approved under the name AMPHOTEC® in the United States and under the name AMPHOCIL® (amphotericin B colloidal dispersion) in more than 40 other countries. AMPHOTEC® was not actively marketed to physicians in the United States for the three years prior to our relaunch in January 2002. We market this product through our field specialists in the United States and through distributors and partners in other parts of the world.

Opening Introduction The Key Specific Diseases ... Contact Us Aspergillosis Not much is known about diseases of sea fans. However, one disease that is known to affect sea fans is aspergillosis, a fungal infection. Mass mortalities of sea fans have been reported throughout the Caribbean in recent years, but the cause has not been evident. Ivan Nagelkerken and colleagues reported an epizootic causing mortalities of sea fans beginning in 1995, in which the fungal agent was identified. Aspergillosis fungal infection of sea fan. Photo by J. W. Porter. Appearance Affected sea fans ( Gorgonia ventalina and G. flabellum ) show one or more irregularly-shaped patches or extensive loss of the purple tissue, with fine white filamentous material and sediment on the black axial skeleton that supports the tissue. Often, tissue adjacent to the patch is colored more deeply purple. Disintegration of the axial skeleton also occurs, leaving behind holes or complete loss of the sea fan blade structure. Sea fan tissue can also exhibit small dark purple spots and protuberant masses of purple tissue. Cause Samples of diseased sea fans from the Bahamas, British Virgin Islands, Curacao, Saba, and Trinidad contained fungal hyphae that are most closely related to the terrestrial fungal genus

A deadly dust may be in the wind during renovations Work with construction crews to reduce risks to patients Infection control practitioners at hospitals undergoing construction or renovation should ensure adequate air quality precautions are in place and strictly enforced to prevent deadly outbreaks of aspergillosis, advise ICP's who have investigated recent outbreaks. Hospital construction and renovation projects pose particular risk to immunocompromised patients who may inhale airborne dust particles that can carry fungal spores that cause aspergillosis. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta warns that construction increases the risk of aspergillosis, and the agency recommends using special airflow and air filtration systems to keep fungal spores down in bonemarrow transplant patient rooms. (CDC Guidelines included later in article) But ICP's who have dealt with outbreaks have gone even further by working directly with construction crews to set up barriers, to redirect or block air intake systems from construction sites, and to restrict the movements of workers between construction and patient care areas. (Construction specifications included later in article) Lorie Lerner-DurJava, RN, MSN, CIC, director of infection control, employee health, and safety at Children's Hospital Medical Centre of Akron (Ohio), says her facility has undergone many construction projects in the last five years. Some projects have involved extensive demolition and renovation of existing patient care areas. To prevent Aspergillus from entering the hospital environment, Lerner-DurJava says she worked to limit access of workers to patient areas and had workers install ceiling-to-floor partitions to contain dust and debris.
