The varying manifestations of Aspergillus lung disease

The Medical Journal of Australia
T DoyleP Sutherland

Abstract

The fungus Aspergillus may cause a variety of pulmonary disorders as a result of its ability to act as an allergen, as a simple saprophyte or as an infectious organism. The clinical manifestations range from hypersensitivity syndromes, in which corticosteroid therapy may be indicated, to disseminated infections, in which corticosteroid agents may be causative. The diagnosis may not be immediately apparent. Six cases are presented to illustrate the sometimes confusing manifestations of the disease.

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.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
