BACKGROUND
Although the outcomes have improved in the current era, pulmonary infection remains a significant post-transplant complication in liver transplant (LT) recipients. Pulmonary infection with cavity formation often leads to higher mortality rates after LT. We wished to investigate the
A study was performed to investigate the air quality of a haematopoietic SCT ward, colonization of the upper airways with Aspergillus spp. and the role of galactomannan (GM) ELISA testing in serum in the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis (IA). In 102 allo-SCT recipients, two cases of IA (one
OBJECTIVE
To assess the value of Aspergillus galactomannan (GM) double-direct sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in the diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA).
METHODS
Ninety adult SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, including 4 groups of pulmonary infection by
An early diagnosis of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) at the stage of simple aspergilloma (SA) remains a challenge in low- and middle-income countries, where imaging may not be routinely available.We investigate the role of Aspergillus OBJECTIVE
To characterize minimal CT signs of initial pulmonary lesion in candidomycosis and invasive aspergillesis of the lungs.
METHODS
A multislice computer tomograph Light Speed+ (GE) was used to examine 67 patients with hematological malignancy in the condition of myelotoxic agranulocytosis
BACKGROUND
Natural polymers have attracted a great deal of attention for use as potential carriers in site-specific delivery over past decades. Mucoadhesive microspheres are useful tools for nasal drug delivery.
OBJECTIVE
To prepare and evaluate mucoadhesive microspheres as mode for nasal delivery
We investigated the causes of death of late sequelae of pulmonary tuberculosis. Chronic respiratory failure is one of the most frequent cause of death in the patients of late sequelae of pulmonary tuberculosis. We compared the long term prognosis of chronic respiratory failure in case of emphysema
Alpha-galactosidases catalyze the hydrolysis of terminal alpha-1,6-galactosyl units from galacto-oligosaccharides and polymeric galactomannans. The crystal structures of tetrameric Saccharomyces cerevisiae alpha-galactosidase and its complexes with the substrates melibiose and raffinose have been
We compared the usefulness of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for the early diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis with the serodiagnosis of sufficient concentrations of galactomannan using the same serum samples. A patient was treated with prednisolone for the management of
Pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis accounts for the majority of cadaveric lung transplantation cases. Post-transplantation management is continuingly necessary not only to prevent the progression of LAM but also to address complications. A woman with lymphangioleiomyomatosis underwent cadaveric lung
Subacute invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) represents a form of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis which affects immunocompetent individuals or mildly immunocompromised persons with underlying pulmonary disease. Pneumothorax can be a rare complication of subacute IPA due to a leakage of air from
Although anti-fungal triazoles are dosed orally or systemically for Aspergillus fumigatus infection, systemic adverse events and limited exposure of the lung cavity would make a topical treatment for the lung an attractive option. In this study, we examined the effects of intranasally dosed
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) in children.
METHODS
The clinical data of 16 cases of proven or probable IPA who had been in our Hospital from January 2006 to June 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.
RESULTS
Among the 16 patients, 11
Invasive fungal disease (IFD) is a feared complication in patients with hematological malignancies. In 2008, the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer/Invasive Fungal Infections Cooperative Group and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Mycosis Study Group
Pulmonary aspergillomas usually occur in pre-existing lung cavities exhibiting local immunodeficiency. As pulmonary aspergillomas only partially touch the walls of the cavities containing them, they rarely come into contact with the bloodstream, which makes it difficult for antifungal agents to
