Furthermore, aspergillus is now no longer a major problem in the hospital.

At last the pit was emptied, the coffin lowered, and the aspergillus passed round.

The post surgical histology revealed aspergillus in the specimen.

Exposure to aspergillus mold causes immunologic hypersensitivity and may cause ranges of symptoms from minimal to detrimental outcomes.

We conclude that the outcome of aspergillus infection depends on the in-vitro susceptibility of the isolates to amphotericin B.

Other patients at risk for aspergillus fungemia were similar to those at risk for invasive aspergillosis, including patients with AIDS.

Spores of the aspergillus fungus are ubiquitous in the environment and only become a problem in stressed and immunocompromised animals.

Ms Jones, who had cystic fibrosis, became allergic to the common airborne fungus aspergillus, as is common in CF patients.

This is a result of a lack of prioritisation, unavailable theatre space and an infestation of aspergillus fungus on key wards.

Twenty isolates of aspergillus were tested against saperconazole and 16 of these against itraconazole and amphotericin B using a macrodilution broth method.

Invasive fungal infections, predominantly with aspergillus and candida, emerged in our study as the major causes of mortality in patients with aplastic anemia.

Of the four non-survivors, 2 underwent splenectomy prior to HSCT and died of sepsis, and two of aspergillus infections associated with severe GVHD.

In the group of patients with aspergillus pseudofungemia, there were no deaths, and cultures of additional specimens from the same patient were not positive.

On histopathological examination the fungus was typed, as aspergillus in 34 cases while no definite typing was possible in 10 cases.

Methods: The authors reviewed the medical records of all patients treated at their institution from January 1990 to August 1999 for culture-proven pulmonary aspergillus infection.

Multiple different media and blood culture systems were used to isolated Aspergillus.
