Risk of Lung Allograft Dysfunction Associated With Aspergillus Infection.

Abstract

We sought to determine whether invasive aspergillosis (IA) during the first year after lung transplantation increased the risk of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD). We retrospectively reviewed the records of 191 patients who underwent lung transplantation at our institution between January 2013 and December 2017. Screening for Aspergillus was with bronchial aspirates, bronchoalveolar lavage if indicated or during surveillance bronchoscopy, radiography, and computed tomography. We used Fine and Gray multivariable regression to identify potential risk factors for CLAD. During the first posttransplant year, 72 patients had at least 1 deep-airway sample positive for Aspergillus; 63 were classified as having IA and were included in the study. Median number of endoscopies per patient during the first year was 9 (range, 1-44). Median time from transplantation to first Aspergillus-positive sample was 121 d. Bronchial aspirate samples and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were positive in 71 and 44 patients, respectively. Aspergillus fumigatus (n = 36, 50%) predominated; bacterial samples were also positive in 22 (31%) patients. IA within 4 mo after transplantation was independently associated with CLAD development (subdistribution h...Continue Reading

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.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
