Localized deposition of calcium oxalate around a pulmonary Aspergillus niger fungus ball

American Journal of Clinical Pathology
F KurreinS L Rowles

Abstract

A case of pulmonary Aspergillus niger fungus ball is presented. Crystals of calcium oxalate, presumably derived from oxalic acid produced by the fungus, were deposited in tissues around the fungus ball. The crystals were identified by x-ray diffraction analysis. Histochemical technics for the identification of calcium oxalate were applied, and evaluation of those showed Yasue's silver nitrate-rubeanic acid method to be the most satisfactory. More frequently used methods for identifying calcium salts in tissues may give equivocal reactions. Oxalic acid may cause localized tissue damage, and if this affects blood vessels severe hemorrhage may follow.

Aspergillosis

Aspergillosis is the name given to a wide variety of diseases caused by infection by fungi of the genus Aspergillus. Aspergillosis occurs in chronic or acute forms which are clinically very distinct. Most cases of acute aspergillosis occur in patients with severely compromised immune systems. Chronic colonization or infection can cause complications in people with underlying respiratory illnesses. Discover the latest research on aspergillosis here.
