Invasive fungal infections are reasons of increased morbidity and mortality after solid organ transplantations like kidney transplantation. Aspergillussupp and Mucoralessupp are invasive infections which are common in hematologic diseases, diabetic ketoacidosis, neutropenic patients, immunocompromised patients such as HIV and organ transplant recip...

Aspergillus can cause a wide variety of diseases ranging from hypersensitivity diseases to invasive infection. Invasive disease most commonly occurs in severely immunocompromised patients such as chemotherapy-induced neutropenia and transplantation. It is a less well-recognized complication in critically ill patients without traditional risk factor...
Background: Aspergillus is a ubiquitous fungus known to cause aspergillosis in immunocompromised patients. The involvement of female genital tract by this fungus is rarely described. Reports of finding Aspergillus in cervicovaginal smears have appeared.
Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) has recently been recognized as a significant global health burden. In China, the diagnosis of CPA is still unfamiliar to most doctors. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the clinical manifestations and diagnoses of CPA in China.
A multidisciplinary team of doctors retrospectively screened 690 records of...
Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a severe infection that can occur in severely immunocompromised patients. Efficient immune recognition of Aspergillus is crucial to protect against infection, and previous studies suggested a role for NOD2 in this process. However, thorough investigation of the impact of NOD2 on susceptibility to aspergillosis is lack...
Invasive aspergillosis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality among immunocompromised patients. Prolonged neutropenia is the most common risk factor. It has rarely been reported to occur in non-neutropenic critically ill patients in the intensive care unit setting. Mortality rate in this group has been reported to be as high as 92%. We re...
