Alternative Names: Aspergillosis - allergic bronchopulmonary; Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis; ABPA Causes, incidence, and risk factors: The aspergillus fungus is common. It can grow on dead leaves, stored grain, bird droppings, compost stacks and other decaying vegetation. Although most people are frequently exposed to aspergillus, infections caused by it such as a pneumonia or fungus ball aspergilloma ) are rare. Some people, however, have an allergic reaction (hypersensitivity) to this fungus, which is called allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA). It is characterized by inflammation of the airways (bronchi) or air sacs (alveoli). The disease may mimic asthma or pneumonia, and, in fact, most patients with ABPA have asthma as well. Patients with asthma or cystic fibrosis are at highest risk for allergic aspergillosis.

Resources Aspergillosis Aspergillosis is an infection of the lungs caused by inhalation of airborne spores of the fungus Aspergillus (Illustration by Electronic Illustrators Group). Definition Aspergillosis refers to several forms of disease caused by a fungus in the genus Aspergillus . Aspergillosis fungal infections can occur in the ear canal, eyes, nose, sinus cavities, and lungs. In some individuals, the infection can even invade bone and the membranes that enclose the brain and spinal cord ( meningitis Description Aspergillosis is primarily an infection of the lungs caused by the inhalation of airborne spores of the fungus Aspergillus . Spores are the small particles that most fungi use to reproduce. Although virtually everyone is exposed to this fungus in their daily environment, it rarely causes disease. When Aspergillus does cause disease, however, it usually occurs in those individuals with weakened immune systems (immunocompromised) or who have a history of respiratory ailments. Because it does not present distinctive symptoms, aspergillosis is generally thought to be underdiagnosed and underreported. Furthermore, many patients with the more severe forms of aspergillosis tend to have multiple, complex health problems, such as AIDS or a blood disorder like leukemia, which can further complicate diagnosis and treatment.

Main Search Index Definition Description Causes ... Resources Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis Definition Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, or ABPA, is one of four major types of infections in humans caused by Aspergillus fungi. ABPA is a hypersensitivity reaction that occurs in asthma patients who are allergic to this specific fungus. Description ABPA is an allergic reaction to a species of Aspergillus called Aspergillus fumigatus . It is sometimes grouped together with other lung disorders characterized by eosinophilia an abnormal increase of a certain type of white blood cell in the blood under the heading of eosinophilic pneumonia . These disorders are also called hypersensitivity lung diseases. ABPA appears to be increasing in frequency in the United States, although the reasons for the increase are not clear. The disorder is most likely to occur in adult asthmatics aged 20-40. It affects males and females equally. ABPA develops when the patient breathes air containing Aspergillus spores. These spores are found worldwide, especially around riverbanks, marshes, bogs, forests, and wherever there is wet or decaying vegetation. They are also found on wet paint, construction materials, and in air conditioning systems. ABPA is a nosocomial infection, which means that a patient can get it in a hospital. When

These include (1) mycotoxicosis due to ingestion of contaminated foods; (2) allergy and sequelae to the presence of conidia or transient growth of the organism in body orifices; (3) colonisation without extension in preformed cavities and debilitated tissues; (4) invasive, inflammatory, granulomatous, narcotising disease of lungs, and other organs; and rarely (5) systemic and fatal disseminated disease. The type of disease and severity depends upon the physiologic state of the host and the species of Aspergillus involved. The etiological agents are cosmopolitan and include Aspergillus fumigatus, A. flavus, A. niger, A. nidulans and A. terreus. Clinical manifestations: 1. Pulmonary Aspergillosis: including allergic, aspergilloma and invasive aspergillosis. The clinical manifestations of pulmonary aspergillosis are many, ranging from harmless saprophytic colonisation to acute invasive disease.

It grows on dead leaves, stored grain, bird droppings, compost piles, or other decaying vegetation. It causes lung disease in three ways: as an allergic reaction in people with asthma; as a fungus ball (aspergilloma) in an old healed lung cavity from previous disease such as tuberculosis or lung abscess , and as an invasive infection with pneumonia that may spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream (invasive aspergillosis). Only the invasive infection is called invasive pulmonary aspergillosis and is much more serious than the other types of aspergillosis. The invasive infection can affect any organ of the body, but especially the heart, lungs, brain, and kidneys. Late in the course of the disease, the nervous system, skin, and other organs may become affected.

Return to the Jardine Home Page Return to the Jardine Parrot page on the APS Web by Virginia Caputo Credit also goes to Wendy Taylor, Carol Palmore, Dianne Heins, and other members of the Jardine's Parrot list for assistance in research, editing, and suggestions for the list of links. Appreciation and thanks are given to Dr. Rose Anne Fiskett of the Potomac Valley Veterinary Hospital for taking the time to answer questions about aspergillosis. Thirteen Jardine's parrots belonging to members of the Jardine's mailing list have died in the last 3 years due to aspergillosis. Two Jardine's survived the illness. Three Jardine's which were not suffering from aspergillosis died of other causes. The number of people belonging to the Jardine's mailing list is currently 142 but has ranged as high as 165. Jardine's that died from aspergillosis belonged to 10 of them. 6-7% of the Jardine's listmembers have lost a Jardine's parrot due to aspergillosis. 7-8% have had a Jardine's that suffered from aspergillosis. The numbers seem surprisingly high. They are high enough to have alarmed listmembers who own Jardine's parrots and to have caused considerable speculation on the list as to whether Jardine's parrots are more susceptible to aspergillosis than other species of parrots. This article and a survey which is still in the planning stages are the result of that speculation. This is written with the goal of informing all who live with Jardine's about aspergillosis: its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and methods of prevention, especially prevention.

Disseminated Invasive Aspergillosis Joshua Lee Rosebrook, MD - Case Coordinator Sidney Uttam Jain, MD - Radiology Discussion Gerald P Bailey, MD, PhD - Pathology Discussion Paul Whiston Spirn, MD - Attending Radiologist Pablo R Ros, MD, MPH - Attending Radiologist August 12, 2002 Presentation This patient is a 59-year-old man with chronic leukemia (status post bone marrow transplant). Imaging Findings Computed Tomography Gross Pathology Specimen Histology Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) images of the chest demonstrate relatively thick-walled cavitary lesions in the left lung (air-fluid levels). A moderate-sized left pleural effusion and trace right pleural effusion are also visible. A large, vaguely defined lesion can also be discerned in the posterior aspect of the right lower lobe. This wedge-shaped opacity at the base of the right lung may represent associated pulmonary infarct, although it may simply be related to the effusion. In addition, the esophagus appears to be dilated. Differential Diagnosis These findings, combined with the patient's age and history, are suggestive of an infectious process, either bacterial or fungal. Septic emboli are also possible, though less likely.

Cerebral Invasive Aspergillosis John D Mackenzie, MD - Case Coordinator Aaron D Sodickson, MD, PhD - Radiology Discussion Kirstine Oh, MD - Pathology Discussion Richard B Schwartz, MD - Attending Radiologist Steven E Seltzer, MD - Attending Radiologist April 8, 2002 Presentation A 20-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital for a second bone marrow transplant. At that time, she had Grade 4 graft v. host disease. Diagnostic images were obtained on the same day as the transplant. Imaging Findings Computed Tomography Magnetic Resonance Imaging Gross Pathology Histology There is a large lesion in the left frontal lobe and smaller lesions in the left temporal lobe and left cerebellar hemisphere. On the computed tomogram (CT), the lesion in the frontal lobe is of low attenuation predominantly with a central hemorrhagic focus. On the magnetic resonance (MR) images, these lesions are of low T1-signal and heterogenous, predominantly low T2-signal. These abnormalities are not associated with significant surrounding edema, and they show no evidence of enhancement on T1-weighted images obtained after intravenous gadolinium injection. The lesions are bright on diffusion-weighted images. Differential Diagnosis Diagnosis Cerebral invasive aspergillosis Discussion Pathology Discussion Pathology specimens were obtained post-mortem, approximately two months after the diagnostic images were obtained. The first section of the brain demonstrates both the frontal and temporal lesions. Necrosis and cavitation are evident in both lesions. Severe necrosis and softening are also visible on a second image depicting the cerebellar lesion. Histologic evaluation revealed coagulative necrosis in several areas. Patchy areas of inflammation (inflammatory cells are stained blue) occurred throughout the brain. The second and third microscopic images show the meningeal subarachnoid vessel and meninges.

Home Birds Advice Disease amongst garden birds ... Fireworks and wild birds Aspergillosis Aspergillosis is a lung infection caused by the spores of a fungus called Aspergillus fumigatus . The spores are widespread in the environment, and are found particularly in decaying vegetable matter. They are found commonly in birds, but do not appear to affect healthy individuals. They only become dangerous when a birds resistance is lowered by stress, disease etc, or if there is high concentration of spores in the air for the birds to breathe in. To reduce the risk of this infection, make sure that food in feeders remains fresh and free from moulds. Since straw can harbour this fungus, never put straw into nestboxes, but use dry hay or wood shavings.
