  1. One Tiny Mold, One Big Problem: Aspergillosis By: Melanie Yodock

  2. Outline • History of Aspergillosis • Aspergillus species information • People at Risk • Clinical Types • Detection/Diagnosis • Treatment

  3. History • First noted in 1815 • Secondary infection • Associated with certain occupations

  4. Aspergillus sp. • Taxonomy • Named after aspergillum • 1926- 69 species • 1945- 80 species • 1965- 151 species • 5 common species • Many rarer species • Morphology • Saprophytes • Small, fluffy, white colonies • Pathogenic species can be different colors

  5. People at Risk • AIDS patients • Neutropenia • Chronic Granulomatous Disease • Solid Organ Transplant Recipients • Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients (HSCT)

  6. Clinical Cases • Pulmonary Aspergillosis • Aspergillomas • Granulomatous aspergillosis

  7. Clinical Cases Cont. • Otomycosis • Aspergillus Sinusitis

  8. Clinical Cases Cont. • Tracheobronchitis • Cutaneous Aspergillosis

  9. Clinical Cases Cont. • Cerebral Aspergillosis

  10. Detection/Diagnosis • BAL cultures • (1→3)-β-ᴅ-glucan assay

  11. Detection/Diagnosis • CT scans • Laboratory Markers and PCR

  12. Treatment • Amphotericin B • Voriconazole • Itraconazole • Caspofungin • Posaconazole

  13. Summary • Aspergillosis has been around for hundreds of years • Secondary infection in immunocompromised patients • Many clinical types of aspergillosis • New detection techniques are allowing for earlier diagnosis • Many treatment options but an ongoing battle with fungal evolution and resistance
