Invasive Aspergillosis in a Patient With Diabetes Mellitus as the Only Risk Factor: Case Report and Literature Review.

Infection by covers a broad clinical spectrum, including invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) and its disseminated extrapulmonary form, invasive aspergillosis (IA). It typically occurs in severely immunocompromised hosts, but it sometimes affects the immunocompetent population, especially patients with acute diseases being treated at the intensive care unit (ICU) and less often those with chronic conditions. In this article, we report the case of a 50-year-old male, with diabetes mellitus (DM) as the only risk factor, treated for IPA and IA with cardiac and central nervous system (CNS) involvement at a high complexity institution in Cali-Colombia.

Aspirin desensitization in NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease and its outcomes in the clinical course of asthma: A systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis.

Background: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-exacerbated respiratory disease (NERD) might benefit from aspirin desensitization (AD) as an alternative treatment to standard care. However, there is conflicting evidence regarding its role in bronchial symptoms and asthma exacerbations.

Objective: To analyze the clinical effects of AD in terms of lung function, systemic and inhaled steroid use, the frequency of acute asthma exacerbations, and adverse effects in patients with NERD and asthma.

Use of monoclonal antibodies for allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in patients with asthma and cystic fibrosis: literature review.

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a hypersensitivity reaction (HR) mediated by antigens to . It is estimated that 2-15% of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and between 1% and 5% of asthmatics develop ABPA, affecting approximately 4.8 million people worldwide.
