    Pulmonary fungal infections in patients with hematological malignancies — Diagnostic approaches (1995)

    Notes: Abstract In a retrospective study of 56 patients with hematological malignancies and fungal pneumonia we have analyzed the value of different diagnostic procedures. In all patients (Candida n=29,Aspergillus n=23, mixed fungal infectionn=4) bronchoscopy and/or high-resolution computed tomography of the lungs was performed. Cultural detection of fungi in bronchoalveolar lavage was successful in 23/32Candida and 11/23Aspergillus pneumonias. Other relevant pathogens were identified by bronchoscopy in 21 cases. Thorax CT scans showed diagnostic evidence of fungal pneumonia in 10/13Candida and in 16/18Aspergillus infections. Blood cultures were positive in 9/33Candida pneumonias and in none of aspergillosis cases. Serological testing and surveillance cultures had only limited value for the early diagnosis of pulmonary mycosis. Our data suggest that bronchoscopy and high resolution CT scans are mutually complementary diagnostic tools with high sensitivity in patients with hematological malignancies and new pulmonary infiltrates. These procedures facilitate the early and reliable recognition of invasive fungal disease which may have a bearing on the initiation, length, and differential therapy of antimycotic drugs.

    Description / Table of Contents: ZusammenfaBung Unter Berücksichtigung der jüngsten Entwicklungen auf dem Gebiet der Thrombolysetherapie und der GefäBchirurgie werden je ein praktikables Therapiekonzept für die akuten Becken- und Beinvenenthrombosen bzw. für die akute Lungenembolie vorgeschlagen und ausführlich begründet. Es wird auf die Entwicklung einer BehandlungBtrategie hingewiesen, die alle physikalischen, medikamentösen und chirurgischen MaBnahmen optimal kombiniert.
    Notes: Summary In view of recent developments in thrombolytic therapy and in vascular surgery, practical treatment schedules are proposed for both superficial and deep venous thromboses of the leg and acute pulmonary embolism. The optimal selection and combination of physical, medical, and surgical measures are advocated.
