Pulmonary overlap syndrome in a patient with bronchial asthma.
BMJ Case Rep
January 2025
Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine, ESICPGIMSR, New Delhi, Delhi, India.
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a disease of immunocompetent patients, and invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is seen in immunocompromised patients. Hence, pulmonary overlap syndrome presenting with ABPA and invasive aspergillosis is extremely rare. We report a case of well-controlled bronchial asthma who presented with acute exacerbation and hypoxaemic respiratory failure.

Article Synopsis
- Invasive tracheobronchial aspergillosis (ITBA) is a serious fungal infection that affected a 75-year-old man with multiple health issues, including lung cancer and COPD.
- The patient experienced severe breathing difficulties, and while doctors initially thought his symptoms were due to cancer recurrence, a post-mortem revealed that ITBA was the actual cause.
- The case underscores the complexity of diagnosing ITBA, especially in patients with various risk factors, highlighting the need to consider fungal infections when diagnosing airway problems in high-risk individuals.
Influenza-associated and COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis in critically ill patients.

Influenza-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (IAPA) and COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) are increasingly recognised as important complications in patients requiring intensive care for severe viral pneumonia. The diagnosis can typically be made in 10-20% of patients with severe influenza or COVID-19, but only when appropriate diagnostic tools are used. Bronchoalveolar lavage sampling for culture, galactomannan testing, and PCR forms the cornerstone of diagnosis, whereas visual examination of the tracheobronchial tract during bronchoscopy is required to detect invasive Aspergillus tracheobronchitis.

April 2024
Service of Immunology and Allergy and Center of Human Immunology Lausanne, Department of Medicine, Lausanne University Hospital and University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland.
Article Synopsis
- The document outlines the goal of creating standardized research definitions for invasive fungal diseases (IFD) in adult ICU patients without typical risk factors for these infections.
- A panel of experts assessed existing definitions and lab tests for IFD, using the RAND/UCLA method to reach a consensus on new definitions.
- Key standardized definitions were made for conditions like invasive candidiasis and aspergillosis, but more data is needed for other IFDs, with the intent to enhance future research studies.
Long term management of people with post-tuberculosis lung disease.
Korean J Intern Med
January 2024
Division of Pulmonology and Critical Care Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine, Seoul St. Mary's Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul, Korea.
Post-tuberculosis lung disease (PTLD) is emerging as a significant area of global interest. As the number of patients surviving tuberculosis (TB) increases, the subsequent long-term repercussions have drawn increased attention due to their profound clinical and socioeconomic impacts. A primary obstacle to its comprehensive study has been its marked heterogeneity.
