Diagnosis and management of Aspergillus diseases: executive summary of the 2017 ESCMID-ECMM-ERS guideline

Andrew J. Ullmann, +58 more
TL;DR: Treatment duration for aspergillosis is strongly recommended based on clinical improvement, degree of immunosuppression and response on imaging, and in refractory disease, where a personalized approach considering reversal of predisposing factors, switching drug class and surgical intervention is also strongly recommended.
Journal ArticleDOI

Specific Detection of Aspergillus Species in Blood and Bronchoalveolar Lavage Samples of Immunocompromised Patients by Two-Step PCR

TL;DR: A two-step PCR assay that specifically amplifies a region of the 18S rRNA gene that is highly conserved in Aspergillus species is developed that allows direct and rapid detection of down to 10 fg of AsPergillus DNA corresponding to 1 to 5 CFU per ml of blood.
Journal ArticleDOI

Primary prophylaxis of invasive fungal infections in patients with hematologic malignancies. Recommendations of the Infectious Diseases Working Party of the German Society for Haematology and Oncology

TL;DR: Aerosolized liposomal amphotericin B is recommended during prolonged neutropenia and Posaconazole 600 mg/d is recommended in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia/myelodysplastic syndrome or undergoing allogeneic stem cell recipients with graft versus host disease for the prevention of invasive fungal infections and attributable mortality.
