Two Cases of Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis in an Iranian Family
SUMMARY Aspergillosis is an infectious disease caused by genus aspergillos species. Aspergilli are ab undant in the environment, they Jive in soil as saprophyte deriving nutrient, from dead plants and animal matters.

متن کاملUrine Galactomannan-to-Creatinine Ratio for Detection of Invasive Aspergillosis in Patients with Hematological Malignancies.
Galactomannan (GM) testing of urine specimens may provide important advantages, compared to serum testing, such as easy noninvasive sample collection. We evaluated a total of 632 serial urine samples from 71 patients with underlying hematological malignancies and found that the urine GM/creatinine ratio, i.e., (urine GM level × 100)/urine creatinine level, which takes urine dilution into accoun...
متن کاملCerebral aspergillosis presenting as a mass lesion.
Fungal infections of the central nervous system (CNS) are almost always a surprising finding. Their presentation is usually subtle, often without any diagnostic characteristics, and they are frequently mistaken for pyogenic abscesses, or brain tumors. Aspergillosis of the central nervous system is an uncommon infection, mainly occurring in immunocompromised patients. It may present in several f...
متن کاملInsulinoma Diagnosed with Endoscopic Ultrasound – Two Cases
We present two cases of insulinoma diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) after initial imaging was unrevealing. Both patients presented with refractory hypoglycemia and were found to have high c-peptide and insulin levels suspicious for insulinoma with evaluation for factitious causes (sulfonylurea, and meglitinides screening) being ruled out. However, imaging with computed tomography (CT) o...
متن کاملTreatment of Hematological Malignancies with Glycyrrhizic Acid.
The current study examined the effectiveness of glycyrrhizic acid (GA) in reducing cell viability and inducing apoptosis in human chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in vitro and a mouse lymphoma in vivo. Additionally, we assessed GA as a candidate for combinational therapy in CML along with the current frontline treatment, imatinib (IM). Treatment of K562 CML cells with GA alone resulted in signifi...
