Aspergillus species frequently colonize lower respiratory tracts and lungs with localized
underlying conditions (healed tuberculous cavity, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, etc.) even in …

The interaction of Aspergillus fumigatus with human bronchial mucosa in an organ culture
model, with an air-mucosal interface, was studied. A. fumigatus conidia were inoculated onto …

Discussion Mixed invasive fungal infections are reported infrequently in the literature [1, 6].
Previous reports have usually been associated with states of marked immunosuppression …

This paper opens with a discussion on the significance of invasive fungal infections in
advanced contemporary medicine, with an emphasis on the intractability of disease …

Aspergillus species are ubiquitous in the environment and are inevitably inhaled into the
airways. Inhalation of Aspergillus conidia or mycelium fragments may result in colonisation …

BACKGROUND: Aspergillus fumigatus is an opportunistic pathogen to which asthmatic
subjects are particularly susceptible. The ability of spores of A fumigatus to bind to …

Using a mixed infection model of murine invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, the comparative
virulence of three clinical and four environmental isolates of Aspergillus fumigatus was …

Pulmonary aspergillosis encompasses a heterogeneous group of mycoses that result from
either colonisation or pathogenic damage of lung tissue by Aspergillus fungi. These clinical …

Aspergillus spp., especially A. fumigatus (Af) can colonize the airways and the lungs with
localized underlying conditions and further invade the surrounding lung tissues, even in …

Pulmonary aspergillus infections are mainly caused by Aspergillus fumigatus and can be
classified based on clinical syndromes into saphrophytic infections, allergic disease and …
