| 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.
