About The Cochrane Library A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 18 August 2000. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA) is an allergic reaction to colonisation of the lungs with the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus and affects around 10% people with cystic fibrosis. ABPA is associated with an accelerated decline in lung function. Corticosteroids, in high doses, are the main treatment for ABPA although the long-term benefits are not clear and their many side effects are well documented. A group of compounds, the azoles, have activity against Aspergillus fumigatus and have been proposed as an alternative treatment for ABPA. Of this group, Itraconazole is the most active. A separate antifungal compound, Amphotericin B has been employed in aerosolised form to treat invasive infection with Aspergillus fumigatus, and may have potential for the treatment of ABPA. Antifungal therapy for ABPA in cystic fibrosis needs to be evaluated. Objectives: The review tested the hypotheses that antifungal interventions for the treatment of ABPA in cystic fibrosis:

About The Cochrane Library A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 06 July 2001. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Allergic Broncho-pulmonary Aspergillosis is hypersensitivity to the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus that complicates patients with asthma and cystic fibrosis. The mainstay of treatment for ABPA remains oral corticosteroids, though this does not completely prevent exacerbations and may not prevent the decline in lung function. Objectives: The purpose of this review was to determine the efficacy of azoles in the treatment of Allergic Broncho-pulmonary Aspergillosis. Search strategy: The Cochrane Airways Group Asthma register was searched using the terms: (allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis OR aspergillosis OR allergic pulmonary aspergillosis OR allergic fungal and disease OR allergic mycotic and disease) AND (azole OR triazole OR itraconazole OR ketoconazole). Selection criteria: All controlled trials that assessed the effect of azole antifungal agents compared to placebo or other standard therapy for ABPA were reviewed. Patients with cystic fibrosis were not included.

    Extractions: What is it? Aspergillosis is a fungal infection. It can occur in people with healthy or suppressed immune systems. In people with healthy immune systems, it usually causes mild or moderate lung problems. In people with suppressed immune systems, aspergillosis can cause serious lung problems and can also spread to other organs, including the kidneys, liver, skin, bones, and brain. Because these more severe forms of aspergillosis can be life threatening, it is important to diagnose and treat this infection quickly. Aspergillosis is caused by Aspergillus , a group of fungi. It is very difficult to avoid these fungi, as they are found throughout the environment. Aspergillus can be found in soil, decomposing plants, household dust, building materials, ornamental plants, food, and water. Dirt, dust, or other materials containing Aspergillus can easily travel through the air and be inhaled into the lungs. People who smoke marijuana, which can contain

    Extractions: Aspergillosis has been observed in almost all birds and animals, including man. The disease is observed in one of two forms; acute outbreaks with high morbidity and high mortality in young birds, and a chronic condition affecting adult birds. It is more of a problem in turkeys than in chickens. The condition is caused by Aspergillus fumigatus , a mold or fungus-type organism. Occasionally other types of molds are involved. These organisms are present in the environment of all poultry. They grow readily on many substances such as litter, feed, rotten wood and other similar materials. The bird comes in contact with the organisms through contaminated feed, litter or premises. The disease is not contagious and does not spread from one bird to another. Most healthy birds can withstand repeated exposure to these organisms. Inhalation of large amounts of the infectious form of the mold or reduced resistance of the bird apparently results in infection. In adult turkeys, the disease more often affects the male. In the acute form in young birds, main symptoms are gasping, sleepiness, loss of appetite and sometimes convulsions and death. Occasionally the organism invades the brain, causing paralysis or other forms of nervous symptoms. The more chronic form in older birds usually results in loss of appetite, gasping or coughing and a rapid loss of body weight. Mortality is usually low and only a few birds are affected at one time.

Prevention Definition: An acute infection of the lungs caused by a fungus that produces illness almost exclusively in immunosuppressed or immunodeficient people. Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Aspergillosis is caused by a fungus (aspergillus) that is commonly found in the environment. It grows on dead leaves, stored grain, bird droppings, compost piles, or other decaying vegetation. It lung disease in three ways: as an allergic reaction in people with asthma ; as a fungus ball (aspergilloma) in an old healed lung cavity from previous disease such as tuberculosis or lung abscess , and as an invasive infection with pneumonia that may spread to other parts of the body by the bloodstream (invasive aspergillosis). Only the invasive infection is called invasive pulmonary aspergillosis and is much more serious than the other types of aspergillosis. The invasive infection can affect any organ of the body, but especially the heart, lungs, brain, and kidneys. Late in the course of the disease, the nervous system, skin, and other organs may become affected.

    Extractions: Aspergillosis refers to several forms of disease caused by a fungus in the genus Aspergillus . Aspergillosis fungal infections can occur in the ear canal, eyes, nose, sinus cavities, and lungs. In some individuals, the infection can even invade bone and the membranes that enclose the brain and spinal cord (meningitis). Description Aspergillosis is primarily an infection of the lungs caused by the inhalation of airborne spores of the fungus Aspergillus . Spores are the small particles that most fungi use to reproduce. Although virtually everyone is exposed to this fungus in their daily environment, it rarely causes disease. When Aspergillus does cause disease, however, it usually occurs in those individuals with weakened immune systems (immunocompromised) or who have a history of respiratory ailments. 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.

Recently, potential adverse health effects associated with airborne fungal spores, specifically Aspergillus fumigatus , have been raised as issues by some Californians during the siting or operation of composting facilities. The staff of the California Integrated Waste Management Board is providing a technical bulletin on this issue titled Aspergillus, Aspergillosis, and Composting Operations in California (Word 6.0/95, 78 KB). Additional bulletins covering relevant health and safety issues are expected to follow. Board staff prepared this technical bulletin in cooperation with the California Department of Health Services, and Cal/EPA's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment.
