Oral aspergillosis in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome

A comprehensive review of skull base osteomyelitis: Diagnostic and therapeutic challenges among various presentations

“…Management of SBO also requires control of underlying comorbid factors such as aggressive glycemic control in diabetes and improvements in immune status in immunocompromised patients. [ 15 107 108 109 110 ] Treatment in immunosuppressed patients includes intravenous administration of a combination of antimicrobial therapies such as ciprofloxacin and ceftazidime. [ 111 112 ]…”

[111,112] Data suggested that the intravenous administration of a combination of antimicrobial agents has better mortality benefits than does the single agent used in the treatment of Pseudomonas bacteremia in AIDS patients.…”

Primary aspergillosis affecting the tongue of a leukemic patient

“…We found only 23 reported cases of intraoral aspergillosis in the English literature (Schubert et al , 1986; Rubin, Jui and Sadoff, 1990; Shannon et al , 1990; Napoli and Donegan, 1991; Sugata et al , 1994; Chambers et al , 1995; Khatri et al , 2000). These cases and the one reported here are summarized in Table 1.…”

“…Aspergillus is found in soil and vegetation. Its spores become airborne and can be inhaled to the lower respiratory tract, the most likely route for the fungus to enter the body (Rubin et al, 1990). However, spores of A. flavus can also contaminate food served to patients, be swallowed and implant in ulcerated areas as demonstrated by Bouakline et al (2000).…”

Combined mucormycosis and aspergillosis of the oro-sinonasal region in a patient affected by Castleman disease

“…Invasive aspergillosis is rare and mainly affects immune-compromised hosts, causing destruction of the antral wall, antral pain, swelling, with or without sequelae from orbital invasion or intracranial extension. Following an initial sino-nasal localisation, oral lesions may develop, especially to the palate or the alveolar process, which appear as yellow to black necrotic ulcers of the palate or the posterior tongue [14,23]. Delayed diagnosis or inappropriate treatment may result in massive tissue destruction and possible extension into the cranial base and/or vault and orbit, via the blood flow, and determine blindness, lethargy, seizure and eventually death [2].…”
