1. Molecular epidemiology and antifungal susceptibilities of Aspergillus species isolated from patients with invasive aspergillosis
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the demographic data, molecular epidemiology, and in vitro antifungal susceptibility results of patients with Aspergillus isolated from various clinical specimens. METHODS: A total of 44 Aspergillus strains were studied. The definition of invasive aspergillosis in patients was made according to Europ

2. Disseminated fusariosis in a patient with bone marrow aplasia,
Abstract Fusariosis is a superficial or systemic infection, which occurs mainly in immunocompromised hosts, especially in patients with hematological neoplasia; 70%–75% of the cases present cutaneous manifestations. The disseminated form is rare and difficult to diagnose; even with specific treatment, the evolution is usually fatal. Currently, it is consid

3. Differential role of gpaB and sidA gene expressions in relation to virulence in Aspergillus species from patients with invasive aspergillosis
Abstract The virulence genes in invasive aspergillosis (IA) have not been analyzed adequately. The present study was designed to evaluate the expression of gpaB and sidA genes, which are important virulence genes in Aspergillus spp. from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples. Direct examination and culture on Czapek Agar and Sabouraud Dextrose Agar media were

4. Galactomannan use in clinical practice: providing free testing is not the full answer
ABSTRACT Introduction: Invasive aspergillosis is a condition associated with a high mortality rate mostly due to difficulties in performing an early diagnosis. In recent years, galactomannan detection has markedly improved the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis, but very little is known on how physicians deal with this test in clinical practice. Methods:

5. Invasive fungal infection in patients with hematologic disorders in a Brazilian tertiary care hospital
ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) are an important complication in immunocompromised individuals, particularly neutropenic patients with hematological malignancies. In this study, we aimed to verify the epidemiology and diagnosis of IFIs in patients with hematologic problems at a tertiary hospital in Goiânia-GO, Brazil. METHODS: D

6. The importance of risk factors for the prediction of patients with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis
Summary Objective: Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is a major challenge in the management of immunocompromised patients. Despite all the advances in diagnosis, it remains a problem. The purpose of our study was to investigate the risk factors associated with IPA seen in patients with hematological malignancies. Method: A total of 152 febrile neutrop

8. Invasive aspergillosis in a user of inhaled cocaine: rhinosinusitis with bone and cartilage destruction
Aspergillosis is an infection caused by saprophytic fungi of the genus Aspergillus, which typically occurs in immunosuppressed individuals, but has also been reported in immunocompetent patients. The main routes of entry are the respiratory tract, skin, cornea, and ear, and the infection may be localized or disseminated by contiguity or vascular invasion. We

9. Evolution of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis produced in mice treated with monoclonal antibodies anti GR-1/Ly-6G and infected with Aspergillus fumigatus strains which presented distincts patterns of production of elastase. / Evolução da aspergilose pulmonar invasiva produzida em camundongos tratados com anticorpos monoclonais anti GR-1/Ly-6G e infectados com amostras de Aspergillus fumigatus que apresentaram distintos padrões de produção de elastase
Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis (IPA) is an opportunistic fungal disease, caused mainly by Aspergillus fumigatus, that affects immunocompromised patients. To better understand this mycoses, we originally established in C57BL/6 mice an experimental model of neutrophils depletion by intraperitoneal inoculation of antibodies anti GR-1/Ly-6G, confirmed by total

10. Invasive intracranial aspergillosis spread by the pterygopalatine fossa in an immunocompetent patient
Aspergillosis of the central nervous system (CNS) is an uncommon infection, mainly found in immunocompromised patients but rarely seen among immunocompetent patients. Herein we describe a 57 year-old immunocompetent man who suffered intracranial aspergillosis spread by the pterygopalatine fossa (PPF) following a tooth extraction. Based on magnetic resonance

12. Epidemiology of fungal infections in liver transplant recipients: a six-year study of a large Brazilian liver transplantation centre
Liver transplant seems to be an effective option to prolong survival in patients with end-stage liver disease, although it still can be followed by serious complications. Invasive fungal infections (ifi) are related to high rates of morbidity and mortality. The epidemiology of fungal infections in Brazilian liver transplant recipients is unknown. The aim of
