Aspergillosis Is it true that aspergillosis spores are usually harmless? Martin Dr Rob Hicks responds The spores of the aspergillosis fungus are harmless to healthy people when they're inhaled into the body. But, if someone is more susceptible to infection because, for example, they have a weakened immune system, the spores may cause illness and damage. A person who already has lung damage or illness is also likely to suffer problems if they inhale aspergillosis spores. These spores come from the aspergillosis fungus and can be found in decaying plant material, soil and dust. When someone has reduced immunity, for example, because of AIDS , then a serious lung infection can develop that's similar to pneumonia. If someone is sensitive to the spores they may develop symptoms similar to those of asthma with coughing and wheezing and episodes of feeling short of breath. This condition is called allergic broncho-pulmonary aspergillosis. If someone already has lung damage then the spores may become lodged in the damaged areas of the lungs. The spores collect and grow into 'fungus balls' causing symptoms of cough, shortness of breath, and sometimes bloodstained sputum.

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.

Prevention Aspergillosis Definition Aspergillosis is an infection, a growth, or an allergic response caused by the Aspergillus fungus. Causes Aspergillosis is caused by a fungus ( Aspergillus ), which is commonly found growing on dead leaves, stored grain, compost piles, or in other decaying vegetation. It causes illness in three ways: as an allergic reaction in people with asthma Pulmonary aspergillosis - allergic bronchopulmonary type ); as a colonization and growth in an old healed lung cavity from previous disease (such as tuberculosis or lung abscess ) where it produces a fungus ball called aspergilloma ; and as an invasive infection with pneumonia that is spread to other parts of the body by the bloodstream ( Pulmonary aspergillosis - invasive type The invasive infection can affect the eye, causing blindness , and any other organ of the body, but especially the heart, lungs, brain, and kidneys. The third form occurs almost exclusively in people who are immunosuppressed because of cancer AIDS , leukemia, organ transplants, high doses of corticosteroid drugs, chemotherapy , or other diseases that reduce the number of normal white blood cells.

ImmuNet Guidelines for Prevention and Control of Nosocomial Pulmonary Aspergillosis March, 1999 Clinical Syndromes Prevention and Control Measures References Introduction Aspergilli are a group of fungi ubiquitous in nature and easily cultured from air, water, soil, vegetation, and any site where dust accumulates. In appropriate conditions the organism forms large amounts of spores which are released into the environment where they may remain suspended for long periods. Aspergillus spores are small (2.5 to 3.5 microns in diameter) and easily inhaled where they may colonize the upper or lower airways. Several hundred species of Aspergillus exist with two causing the majority of disease in humans , A fumigatus and A. flavus In highly immunocompromized hosts Aspergillus spp. causes severe opportunistic infections that carry a high mortality. Although invasive aspergillosis may be community acquired, most cases are nosocomial in origin. Major outbreaks of invasive nosocomial aspergillosis have been reported associated with hospital construction, renovation and maintenance, activities that allow spores to become airborne.

This article first appeared in SQUAWK, the newsletter of the Big Apple Bird Association, and at www.Avianweb.com ASK THE VET (Aspergillosis/Part I and 2) by Linda Pesek, DVM Westbury Animal Hospital 319 Union Avenue Westbury, NY In the chronic form, dyspnea, voice change, lethargy, depression, emaciation, polydipsia, and polyuria may occur. Extensive involvement of the respiratory tract can be present before clinical signs are apparent. Ataxia and paralysis occur of the central nervous system is affected. PART 2 Aspergillosis is the most frequently occurring fungal infection in birds. All species are susceptible. It may be contracted as the result of inhalation of fungal spores or oral ingestion, especially if birds are fed moldy food or housed on contaminated bedding.Immunocompromised and malnourished birds are most susceptible to the disease. Diagnosis of aspergillosis can be difficult. A tentative diagnosis may be made of the basis of physical findings, a history of environmental conditions suitable for fungal growth, and recent stress. A hemogram may show a significant leukocytosis (elevated white blood cell count) with a heterophilia early in the disease. As the disease becomes more chronic, a monocytosis, lymphopenia, and non-regenerative anemia develop. An increase in total blood protein with a hyperglobulinemia may develop. Deep tracheal cytology and culture may be performed under anesthesia. A positive culture will usually be present in 18 hours. A single colony growth is considered significant.

From The Cochrane Library, Issue 2, 2005 Azoles for allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis associated with asthma (Cochrane Review) Wark PAB, Gibson PG, Wilson AJ ABSTRACT What's new in this issue Search abstracts Browse alphabetical list of titles Browse by Review Group A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 04 March 2004. 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). Searches are current as of February 2005. 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.
