A case of aspergilloma detected after surgery for pneumothorax.
We report a case of aspergilloma in an 80-year-old male patient who had no identifiable underlying disease before surgery for pneumothorax. He was hospitalized for left pneumothorax. A chest CT revealed a large bulla in the left lung apex with a nodule (diameter; 1.5 cm) at the edge of the bulla. After thoracodocesis, air leakage persisted and a large bulla and nodule were resected. Aspergillus...

متن کاملGastrointestinal tract aspergilloma: possible cause of malabsorption.
A 62 year old man with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia presented with malabsorption, the cause of which could not be found during life. Necropsy examination showed aspergillosis, limited to the stomach, where tumour-like masses were seen, the oesophagus, and lungs. This case illustrates the problems of diagnosing fungal infections in life and the importance of clinicopathological correlation at n...
متن کاملCan the cause of aggregation be inferred from species distributions?
Species distributions often show an aggregated pattern, which can be due to a number of endoand exogenous factors. While autologistic models have been used for modelling such data with statistical rigour, little emphasis has been put on disentangling potential causes of aggregation. In this paper we ask whether it is possible to infer sources of aggregation in species distributions from a singl...
متن کاملWhen can the cause of a population decline be determined?
Inferring the factors responsible for declines in abundance is a prerequisite to preventing the extinction of wild populations. Many of the policies and programmes intended to prevent extinctions operate on the assumption that the factors driving the decline of a population can be determined. Exogenous factors that cause declines in abundance can be statistically confounded with endogenous fact...
