Mashup Score: 6Corticosteroids as risk factor for COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis in intensive care patients - Critical Care - 2 year(s) ago
Purpose Corticosteroids, in particular dexamethasone, are one of the primary treatment options for critically ill COVID-19 patients. However, there are a growing number of cases that involve COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA), and it is unclear whether dexamethasone represents a risk factor for CAPA. Our aim was to investigate a possible association of the recommended…

Mashup Score: 3Posaconazole versus voriconazole for primary treatment of invasive aspergillosis: a phase 3, randomised, controlled, non-inferiority trial - 3 year(s) ago
Posaconazole was non-inferior to voriconazole for all-cause mortality up until day 42 in participants with invasive aspergillosis. Posaconazole was well tolerated, and participants had fewer treatment-related adverse events than in the voriconazole group. This study supports the use of posaconazole as a first-line treatment for the condition.

Mashup Score: 0Reply to “Current approach to the diagnosis of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis” - 3 year(s) ago
We thank Türk et al1 for the interest shown in our article.2 Regarding their first question, the prevalence of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) in our study was 19.6% (106 of 542) as assessed by a multidisciplinary team (MDT). We classified our asthmatic subjects as mild-to-moderate (mild intermittent, mild persistent, and moderate persistent) and severe (comprising severe…

Mashup Score: 0
We read the work of Saxena et al1 with great interest. In this study, the authors aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of various criteria used for evaluating allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) and found that the International Society for Human and Animal Mycology (ISHAM) criteria were only marginally better than the Rosenberg-Patterson criteria to identify ABPA in patients…

Mashup Score: 0Biomarkers for the Diagnosis of Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis in Cystic Fibrosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis - 3 year(s) ago
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a hypersensitivity reaction to Aspergillus fumigatus and impacts 10% of individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF). A diagnosis of ABPA is challenging to establish in CF owing to overlapping clinical and radiologic features with CF lung disease. Recent studies have identified blood tests, imaging, and other biomarkers that may be useful for diagnosis.
