“…Nasal obstruction, nasal congestion, nasal discharge and postnasal drip are the major clinical presentation in those patients. Same finding were observed by Hedayati et al (6) and Zakirullah et al (3) who found that 96% of his patients complain of nasal obstruction. In the current study, 7 patients had finding consistent with AFRS, the disease was unilateral in 5 (71.4%) of them and bilateral in 2 (28.6%).…”

“…Le tableau clinique est celui d'une sinusite chronique pauci-symptomatique avec des signes rhino-sinusiens non spécifiques, rebelles au traitement médical en particulier antibiotique [7,12]. L'évolution à bas bruit est souvent à l'origine du retard diagnostique et rend compte de la gravité de cette forme chronique de l'aspergillose invasive [6,12].…”

“…En effet, certains signes tardifs alarmants sont en rapport avec une extension extrasinusienne notamment vers l'orbite et l'endocrâne. Il peut s'agir d'un déficit neurologique d'aggravation progressive, de troubles de la conscience, d'une exophtalmie avec ptosis, d'une diplopie, et/ou d'une baisse de l'acuité visuelle [7,8].…”

“…En effet, l'identification du champignon n'est possible qu'à la culture. Celle-ci est inconstamment positive ; en effet Hedayati et al [7] trouvent que la culture est positive dans seulement 40 % des cas. A. flavus qui était isolé chez tous nos malades est l'espèce la plus incriminée dans la genèse de l'aspergillose nasosinusienne invasive granulomateuse [11].…”

“…After A. fumigatus, A. flavus is the second leading cause of invasive and non-invasive aspergillosis [3,4]. In many tropical and sub-tropical countries, including India, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iraq, Turkey and Iran, A. flavus has most frequently been reported as the predominant etiological agent causing mainly cerebral or sino-orbital aspergillosis, or ocular infections [5,6]. Early diagnosis of IA remains a challenge, but it is important for better therapeutic outcomes [7].…”

Purpose. The detection of galactomannan (GM) in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid is an important surrogate marker for the early diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring of invasive aspergillosis (IA), regardless of the involved species of Aspergillus. Here, we utilized the Platelia Aspergillus GM enzyme immunoassay (Bio-Rad) to evaluate the GM index in BAL fluid samples from patients with proven, probable or putative IA due to Aspergillusflavus versus Aspergillusfumigatus.Methodology. In a prospective study between 2009 and 2015, 116 BAL samples were collected from suspected IA patients referred to two university hospitals in Tehran, Iran.Key findings. According to European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer and Mycoses Study Group and Blot criteria, 35 patients were classified as IA patients, of which 33 cases tested positive for GM above 0.5 and, among these patients, 22 had a GM index !1. Twenty-eight were culture positive for A. flavus and seven for A. fumigatus. The GM index for A. flavus cases was between 0.5-6.5 and those of A. fumigatus ranged from 1 to 6.5. The sensitivity and specificity of a GM index !0.5 in cases with A. flavus were 86 and 88 % and for A. fumigatus patients were 100 and 73 %, respectively.Conclusion. Overall, the mean GM index in patients with A. fumigatus (3.1) was significantly higher than those of A. flavus (1.6; P-value=0.031) and the sensitivity of GM lower for A. flavus when compared to A. fumigatus. This finding has implications for diagnosis in hospitals and countries with a high proportion of A. flavus infections.
