| allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis | <radiology> ABPA: Aspergillus fumigatus hypersensitivity, mucoid impaction of bronchi distal to lobar bronchus, mucus plugs contain fungi, eosinophils, XR: Y-shaped density (mucus plug wedged in bronchi) (12 Dec 1998) |

| aspergillosis | <disease> A fungal (Aspergillus) infection in the tissues marked by inflammatory granulomatous lesions. This infection may affect the lungs, ear canal, skin or the mucous membranes of the eye, nose or urethra. May cause pulmonary aspergillosis in individuals with asthma. More common in the immunocompromised individual (AIDS). Symptoms of disseminated disease include cough, haemoptysis, weight loss, wheezing, fever, chills, haematuria and decreased urine output. Treatment is with amphotericin B. Not transmissible from human to animals or animals to human. (27 Sep 1997) |
| aspergillosis, allergic bronchopulmonary | Aspergillosis of the lung occurring in an individual with long-standing bronchial asthma. It is characterised by pulmonary infiltrates, eosinophilia, elevated serum IgE and immediate type skin reactivity to aspergillus antigen. (12 Dec 1998) |
| aspergillosis precipitin | <investigation> A test which is used to detect the presence of aspergillus antibodies in the blood. The normal result is read as negative or no antibodies. A strong reaction can indicate pulmonary aspergillosis. Some forms of hypersensitivity pneumonia may also yield a weakly positive test result. (27 Sep 1997) |
| bronchopneumonic aspergillosis | An inflammatory and destructive disease of the bronchi and lungs due to the presence and growth of Aspergillus fumigatus. There are four varieties: 1) a bronchial infection with allergic manifestations, in which the fungus grows in the mucus (evoked by the inflammation), which may be expectorated as yellow bronchial casts and may cause intermittent bronchial obstruction, with transient pulmonary shadows seen radiographically; asthma is often present, and bronchial wall destruction may eventually result in a proximal form of bronchiectasis; 2) aspergilloma; 3) an infection with pulmonary necrosis as a pneumonic involvement of the lung in debilitated subjects; 4) disseminated aspergillosis. Synonym: bronchopneumonic aspergillosis, pulmonary aspergillosis. Disseminated aspergillosis, a variety of bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, characterised by a generalised infection of the lung with Aspergillus occurring usually in subjects with defective immune response. Invasive aspergillosis, so-called because of the peculiar predilection of Aspergillus fumigatus to invade blood vessels and cause tissue infarction; it is second only to candidiasis as a cause of opportunistic fungal infection in patients whose immune mechanisms have been suppressed by chemotherapy.

| acute disseminated encephalomyelitis | <radiology> Immune-mediated encephalitis (IME), ADE, allergic treatmentn to prior infection, begins 1-2 weeks after event, occus after viral infection or vaccination, affects corpus callosum and white matter (above and below tent), self-limited; steroids may help See also: white-matter disease, demyelinating disease (12 Dec 1998) |
| acute disseminated myositis | The occurrence of multiple foci of acute inflammation in the muscular tissue and overlying skin in various parts of the body, accompanied by fever and other signs of systemic infection. See: dermatomyositis. Synonym: acute disseminated myositis, pseudotrichinosis, pseudotrichiniasis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| disseminated | Scattered, distributed over a considerable area. (16 Dec 1997) |
| disseminated choroiditis | Chronic inflammation of the choroid, with multiple isolated foci. (05 Mar 2000) |
| disseminated cutaneous gangrene | A bullous or pustular eruption, of uncertain origin, followed by necrotic ulcers or extensive gangrene in children under 2 years of age; if untreated, death may result from haematogenous infection, such as liver abscess. Synonym: disseminated cutaneous gangrene, ecthyma gangrenosum, pemphigus gangrenosus, rupia escharotica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| disseminated cutaneous leishmaniasis | Leishmaniasis caused by several New and Old World species and strains of Leishmania (L. Mexicana amazonensis, L. M. Pifanoi, possibly L. M. Garnhami and L. M. Venezuelensis; in Ethiopia, L. Aethiopica, and unidentified leishmanial agents in Namibia and Tanzania). The condition is associated with a suppressed cell-mediated immune response, so that the non-ulcerating, non-necrotizing cutaneous lesions can spread widely over the body; great numbers of parasite-filled macrophages are found in the dermal lesions. Healing does not appear to occur unless an acquired cellular hypersensitivity can develop. Synonym: anergic leishmaniasis, diffuse leishmaniasis, disseminated cutaneous leishmaniasis, leishmaniasis tegumentaria diffusa, pseudolepromatous leishmaniasis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| disseminated disease | Disease in which the cancerous cells have spread from the tissue of origin to other organs. (13 Nov 1997) |
| disseminated gonococcal infection | Infection from Neisseria gonorrhoea which is spread to distant parts of the body beyond the original portal of entry (usually the lower genital tract). Usually manifest by rash and arthritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
