Filter by:Large doses of systemic corticosteroids ，severe lung tissue damage and longer COPD diagnosis may increase the risk of IPA in patients with chronic structural lung disease. By comparing the risk factors of aspergillus colonization group and aspergillus infection group, the main risk factors of aspergillus pneumonia were determined.
Brief Research Proposal: Non-Invasive Detection of Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis in ICU Patients Background: Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis (IPA) is a critical threat to patients in ICUs, especially those undergoing mechanical ventilation. Traditional diagnostic methods are invasive and carry risks. This study proposes a non-invasive, innovative approach utilizing galactomannan (GM) analysis in Exhaled Breath Condensate (EBC) for early IPA detection. Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of measuring GM levels in EBC for detecting IPA in mechanically ventilated patients, comparing it against the conventional Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid (BALF)-GM measurements. Methods: A clinical trial will be conducted with 75 mechanically ventilated patients suspected of having IPA. The study will compare the effectiveness of EBC-GM levels against BALF-GM levels in diagnosing IPA, focusing on sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy. The novel, self-designed EBC collection device will facilitate the safe and efficient collection of EBC from patients. Expected Outcomes: Validation of EBC-GM Diagnostic Accuracy: Anticipate demonstrating that EBC-GM levels provide a comparable diagnostic accuracy to BALF-GM, establishing a non-invasive, safer alternative for IPA detection. Implementation of a Non-Invasive Diagnostic Tool: The study aims to introduce a non-invasive diagnostic approach that can potentially replace more risky, invasive methods, improving patient care in ICUs. Contribution to Clinical Practice: By providing a new method for early and safer detection of IPA, the study is expected to influence clinical guidelines and practices in the management of critically ill, ventilated patients. Significance: This research has the potential to revolutionize the diagnosis of fungal infections in critically ill patients by offering a non-invasive, accurate, and safer diagnostic tool, thereby improving patient outcomes and reducing the risks associated with invasive diagnostic procedures.
Asthma is severe when it cannot be controlled with maximum-dose inhaled therapies while management of comorbidities and other precipitating or aggravating factors has been optimized. Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a complex bronchopulmonary disease resulting from immunological reactions against Aspergillus Fumigatus. The development of a model of bronchial epithelium generated from patients with chronic lung disease will allow the modeling of bronchial tissue to understand the formation of these mucus plugs. This study aims to validate this model The investigators propose to verify the feasibility of obtaining and comparing two epithelia in two populations based on the following experiments: Differentiation of an Induced Pluripotent Stem cell (iPSC) clone derived from blood sample (Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells) of Type 2 inflammation (T2) severe asthma and Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA) in order to obtain differentiated bronchial epithelia in vitro.
COVID-19 associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) is considered a potentially life-threatening infection in critically ill COVID (Corona Virus disease)-19 patients. This study will investigate the efficacy of mold-active prophylaxis with posaconazole for patients with severe SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome)-CoV-2 infection admitted to the ICU (intensive care unit) in a multi-center case-control study in Europe.
A study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of opelconazole for the prevention of fungal aspergillus infections in the lung in participants who have received a lung transplant.
The purpose is to allow phsyician reporters to contribute to MUNCO registry. Mucormycosis in COVID-19 is a rapidly escalating medical emergency reported in high numbers in India during the ongoing coronavirus surge. There is very little known about the risk factors, patterns and complications of mucormycosis as it occurs either during the infection or treatment phase of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). In light of this emerging epidemic within a pandemic, it is of time sensitive importance to obtain a better understanding of the risk factors and outcomes of this fatal complication
A spirometry study is performed in a patient diagnosed with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. An initial measurement is carried out and the patient is then put on a four-week physiotherapy treatment plan. Four spirometry measurements were taken to assess different variables and an improvement in all the spirometry values was established.
This is a non-interventional medical chart review study aiming to examine the effectiveness, safety, and treatment patterns of isavuconazole in 5 European countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and United Kingdom). Eligible patients are adults who have been treated with isavuconazole in routine practice at participating sites since 15 October, 2015 or since the date of launch in the country if it is after 15 October, 2015 until 30 June, 2019. As this is an observational study, patients will be treated based on the standard of care at the discretion of their physician. No drugs will be supplied for this study and patients will receive treatment through standard local practice.
This study is investigating the role of allergic (Th2) inflammation in patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and history of fungal infection and/or Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis. Little is known about fungal infection in CF and conflicting results exist on whether this results in worse lung function over time. There is concern that persistent fungal infection can result in worse clinical outcome measures in patients with CF. Also, it is unclear how ABPA develops, but may be related to the amount of fungus a patient with CF is infected with. This study looks at inflammatory patterns and allergic responses to fungal elements to help identify biomarkers and signs of allergic disease in fungally infected patients with CF.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab on lung function in participants with Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA). The secondary objectives of the study are: - To evaluate the effects of dupilumab on exacerbations in participants with ABPA - To evaluate the effects of dupilumab on ABPA-related exacerbations - To evaluate the effects of dupilumab on hospitalization/emergency department (ED)/urgent care visits in participants with ABPA - To evaluate the effects of dupilumab on asthma control in participants with ABPA - To evaluate the effects of dupilumab on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in participants with ABPA - To evaluate the effects of dupilumab on serum total immunoglobulin E (IgE) and Aspergillus-specific IgE concentrations - To evaluate the effects of dupilumab on Fractional exhaled Nitric Oxide (FeNO) levels - To evaluate safety and tolerability of dupilumab in participants with ABPA - To evaluate dupilumab concentrations in serum and the incidence of anti-dupilumab antibodies in participants with ABPA
