aspergillosis/potassium

We report a cluster of primary cutaneous aspergillosis in six children with hematologic malignancy. When first seen, they had hemorrhagic bullae caused by Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigatus, and Aspergillus niger at the sites of insertion of intravenous cannulas or where arm boards had been

OBJECTIVE To describe the clinicopathological and radiologic features in five cases of primary and secondary orbital aspergillosis. METHODS Case series. METHODS Ophthalmology department of a university hospital. METHODS Five patients over 65 years of age with invasive rhinosino-orbital

A 6 yr old, male, neutered Weimaraner was treated homeopathically for nasal aspergillosis after failing to respond to two treatments of topical (intranasal) clotrimazole and oral amoxicillin trihydrate/clavulanate potassium. Computed tomography, rhinoscopy, fungal culture, and cytology previously

OBJECTIVE The incidence of pulmonary aspergillosis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected persons is rising. This study was designed to determine the prevalence of pulmonary aspergillosis in a cohort of HIV-positive patients (n = 71) presenting with lower respiratory tract infection at a

The present article surveys the anti-Aspergillus activity of various azole derivatives as well as a number of miscellaneous other antifungal agents. The drawbacks of sodium (potassium) iodide therapy in the management of pulmonary aspergilloma are discussed along with current efforts at treatment of

Presentation of an unusual case of cerebral aspergillosis in an immune competent patient who was treated successfully but symptoms and signs of a demyelinating process following initial recovery has been occurred. A 29-year-old male with focal seizure. Brain MRI revealed small multiple hemispheric

BACKGROUND Although the incidence of invasive aspergillosis in the intensive care unit (ICU) is scarce, it has emerged as major problems in critically ill patients. In this study, the incidence of pulmonary aspergillosis (PA) in ICU patients has evaluated and direct microscopy and culture has

Purpose: Aspergillosis is an important fungal disease affecting millions of individuals worldwide. The genus of Aspergillus consist of various complexes, causing a wide spectrum of diseases from superficial infections in

BACKGROUND Granulomatous dermatitis is a distinctive histopathologic cutaneous reaction pattern against various infectious and noninfectious agents. Cytologically, granulomatous dermatitis shows granulomas and multinucleated giant cells. Various etiologic agents of granulomatous diseases can also be

Successful chemotherapy of the systemic mycoses now covers a span of more than 75 years and dates to the first reported use of potassium iodide for treatment of sporotrichosis. The second drug with efficacy was stilbamidine, and its currently available successor, hydroxystilbamidine isethionate,

Small unilamellar amphotericin B liposomes can reduce the toxicity of amphotericin B. In this study, we compared the physical, antifungal, pharmocokinetic, and toxic properties of two liposomal amphotericin B products, AmBisome and Anfogen, that have the same chemical composition but are

Twenty-three neutropenic patients with haematological malignancies and febrile pulmonary infiltrates were empirically treated with liposomal amphotericin B (AmBisome) in addition to broad-spectrum antibiotics. AmBisome was given on alternate days in two different dosages: 3 mg kg-1 in patients with

OBJECTIVE In selected patients with severe end-stage combined cardiopulmonary diseases, heart-lung transplantation (HLTx) remains the only therapeutical option for improving survival and quality of life. METHODS Since 1983, 51 HLTx were done at our institution. Mean patient age was 27+/-12 years

The efficacy and safety of liposomal amphotericin B (L-AMB) in the treatment of invasive fungal infections (IFIs) were retrospectively evaluated for patients with connective tissue diseases (CTDs) during treatment with immunosuppressive therapy. Subjects were 13 patients with CTDs complicated by
