News FAQs Emu health Aspergillosis Simon Bewg, Emu Farming Services Group, DPI The disease aspergillosis is caused by a fungus from the genus Aspergilla Aspergilla has the potential to infect a wide range of mammalian, avian and reptilian species including man and is probably the most common fungal infection found in birds. The most common species of Aspergilla causing disease in birds are A. fumigatus, A. flavus and A. niger . There are numerous other species of aspergilla present in the environment but these rarely appear as a cause of the disease. A. flavus has been isolated as a cause of aspergillosis in emus in Queensland. How the disease occurs Aspergilla is widespread throughout the environment and where conditions are suitable it will grow and multiply to give a localised high concentration of the fungus. Favourable conditions include: warm, moist areas eg in litter around waterers and in some types of deep-litter and

Because it does not present distinctive symptoms, aspergillosis is generally thought to be underdiagnosed and underreported. Furthermore, many patients with the more severe forms of aspergillosis tend to have multiple, complex health problems, such as AIDS or a blood disorder like leukemia, which can further complicate diagnosis and treatment.

Invasive Aspergillosis with Air Crescent Gregory D N Pearson, MD, PhD Andetta R Hunsaker, MD May 16, 1996 Presentation A 66-year-old man, having undergone chemotherapy for acute myelogenous leukemia, presented with neutropenia and fever. Imaging Findings Plain radiograph of the chest, PA view Plain radiograph of the chest, lateral view Plain radiograph of the chest, two weeks later Magnification of latter radiograph Posteroanterior (PA) and lateral views of the chest demonstrate right upper lobe consolidation as well as the stigmata of prior cardiac surgery. A posteroanterior view obtained two weeks later demonstrates a smaller region of consolidation with the new finding of a crescentic lucency ( arrow ) superiorly. Differential Diagnosis Findings from the original study are consistent with a right upper lobe pneumonia (bacterial of fungal etiology most likely). Given the history provided, the air crescent sign visible on the later study is virtually pathognomonic of invasive aspergillosis. Other entities that can occasionally produce air crescents include: echinococcal cyst abscess tuberculosis bronchogenic carcinoma hematoma Diagnosis Invasive aspergillosis with developing air crescent Discussion Aspergillosis fumigatus   is a ubiquitous dimorphic fungus that causes several types of pulmonary illness. Manifestations are primarily dependent upon the immune status of the patient. In noninvasive aspergillosis, fungus colonizes a preexisting cavity, bronchiectatic bronchus, or bulla and forms a mycetoma, or fungus ball. In semi-invasive aspergillosis, patients are mildly immounosuppressed due to sarcoidosis, alcoholism, or other debilitating illness. The fungus begins growing as an infiltrate, but over several months cavitates to form a thick-walled cavity with a mycetoma. In allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, fungal spores elicit a hypersensitivity reaction in the tracheobroncheal tree, usually in asthmatics. This leads to the production of mucus which traps the fungal hyphae in the airway, eventually leading to mucoid impation.

ABOUT US INVESTOR RELATIONS NEWS CAREERS ... Applied Research AMPHOTEC® (amphotericin B cholesteryl sulfate complex) is an FDA approved lipid form of amphotericin B indicated for the treatment of invasive aspergillosis in patients where renal impairment or unacceptable toxicity precludes the use of amphotericin B deoxycholate in effective doses, and in patients with invasive aspergillosis where prior amphotericin B deoxycholate therapy has failed. There are approximately 200,000 cases of systemic fungal infection each year in the United States. Worldwide sales of all amphotericin B-based products are approximately $300 million per year. It is approved under the name AMPHOTEC® in the United States and under the name AMPHOCIL® (amphotericin B colloidal dispersion) in more than 40 other countries. AMPHOTEC® was not actively marketed to physicians in the United Sates for the three years prior to our relaunch in January 2002. We market this product through our field specialists in the United States and through distributors and partners in other parts of the world.
