Article Synopsis
- - Universal antifungal treatment is recommended for hematology patients during chemotherapy to prevent invasive aspergillosis (IA), but challenges persist in resource-limited areas; identifying at-risk individuals could improve outcomes.
- - A pilot study in Thailand from April 2021 to January 2023 focused on the potential of nasal wash galactomannan (GM) tests as a predictor for IA in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and those undergoing stem cell transplantation (SCT).
- - Of the 34 enrolled patients, 52.9% were diagnosed with IA after six months, but nasal wash GM had limited predictive value, with sensitivity of 40% and specificity of 80%; further research is needed to strengthen
Introduction: The association between genetic background and the risk of invasive aspergillosis (IA) has not been addressed in Thailand. We conducted genetic risk surveillance for IA among Thai hematologic patients.
Methods: We conducted a prospective observational cohort study including moderate- to high-risk hematology patients at Ramathibodi Hospital.
Pituitary tuberculoma is extremely rare, even in endemic regions of tuberculosis and much less frequently as a presentation of pituitary apoplexy. We describe a 25-year-old female presented with sudden onset of headache and vision loss of left eye which mimicking symptoms of pituitary apoplexy. MRI of the pituitary gland showed a rim-enhancing lesion at the intrasellar region extending into the suprasellar area, but absence of posterior bright spot with enhancement of the pituitary stalk.
