Pulmonary Diseases Caused by Aspergillus I. Allergic Aspergillosis - Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) - IgE related asthma - Hypersensitivity pneumonias - Allergic aspergillus sinusitis II. Saprophytic colonisation - Aspergilloma III. İnvazive disease - İnvazive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) - Airway invazive aspergillosis - Chronic necrotizing pneumonia (Semi-invaziv)
Aspergillosis • Aspergillus fumigatus (~%90) • Aspergillus flavus(~%10) • Aspergillus niger (~%2) • Aspergillus clavatus (<%1) • ubiquitous molds found in organic matter • 1.5~6um sized spores • structure • Conidiospores • Aerial hyphae (conidiophore) • Vesicle • Phialides Soubani AO.Chest 2002;121:1988-1999
Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis • ABPA is caused by a complex hypersensitivity reaction to Aspergillus organisms. • Clinically; chronic asthma recurrent pulmonary infiltrates bronchiectasis • A immediate hypersensitivity reaction(type I) with IgE and IgG release occurs. • Immune complexes and inflammatory cells are then deposited in the bronchial mucosa (type III). • Production of necrosis and eosinophilic infiltrates (type IVb) with bronchial wall damage and bronchiectasis.
Clinical Features • 3.-4.decade , no gender • HLA-DR2 and HLA-DR5 genotypes, mutations CFTR gene, polymorphisms of the collagen region of the surfactant protein A2 • Asthma • Low grade fever, wheezing ±, hemoptysis, bronchial hyperreactivity, malaise • Expectoration of brownish mucus plugs(31-69%) • Clubbing rare (16%) • Pulmonary hypertension, respiratory failure Zander S.Arch Pathol Lab Med 2005;129:924-928 Moss RB.

ABPA Pathology ABPA Pathology • Mucoid impaction of bronchi, eosinophilic pneumonia, bronchocentric granulomatosis • Mucus, fibrin, Curschmann spirals, Charcot-Leyden crystals, inflammatory cells • Asthma • Septated hyphae with dichotomous branching may be seen in mucous, but do not invade the mucosa. • Culture + in 2/3 of patients
Laboratory Findings • Aspergillus skin test: Immediate cutaneous hypersensitivity is a characteristic findings • Total serum IgE levels : 1000 ng/mL or 417 IU/mL. Normal IgE levels excludes ABPA • Serum IgE and IgG Antibodies specific to Af: IgG/IgE more than twice the pooled serum (AH? ABPA?) • Peripheral eosinophilia: >1000 is major criteria, low eosinophil count not excludes • Sputum Cultures for a Af : Supportive but no diagnostic • Spesific Aspergillus Antigens: Frequently cross-react with other antigens
ABPA PFTs • Airflow obstruction – reduced FEV1 • Air trapping – increased RV • Positive BD response in ½ • Mixed obst. and rest. if bronchiectasis and fibrosis present • Reduced DLCO if bronchiectasis present
ABPA After bronchoscopy Before bronchoscopy
ABPA Radiologic features • Upper lobe infiltrates • Atelectasis • “Tram lines” • “Parallel lines” • Ring shadows • “Toothpaste shadows” • “Gloved finger shadows” • Perihilar infiltrates may simulate adenopathy • Cylindrical bronchiectasis
Consolidation • Finger like shadow • Mucoid impaction of central bronchiectasis. • Atelectasis
ABPA Diagnostic Criteria • Primary criteria: • Asthma • Peripheral blood eosinophilia • Positive skin test for aspergillus • Precipitating antibodies(IgG) in serum • Serums Af spesific IgG and IgE • IgE elevation (>1000mL) • Pulmonary infiltrations • Central bronchiectasis • Secondary criteria: • Positive sputum culture for aspergillus • History of brown mucus plug expectoration • Positive type III(Arthus) reaction for aspergillosis Soubani AO.Chest 2002;121:1988-1999 Lazarus AA.

Rosenberg-Patterson criteria • ABPA-Central Bronchiectasis (ABPA-SB) • Asthma • Central bronchiectasis • Immediate cutaneous hyperreactivity to Af antigens • Elevated IgE ( >417 U/L or 1000ng/ml) • Raised A fumigatus specific IgE and IgG • ABPA-Serological (ABPA-S) • Asthma • Immediate cutaneous hyperreactivity to Af antigens • Elevated IgE ( >417 U/L or 1000ng/ml) • Raised Af specific IgE and IgG • Transient pulmonary infiltrates on chest radiograph Rosenberg M.Annals of Intern Med 1977;86:405-414 Greenberger PA.

Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis • Stage I Acute phase • Stage II Remission • Stage III Exacerbation • Stage IV Steroid dependent • Stage V End-stage (Fibrotic) Patterson R. Ann Intern Med 1982;96,286-291 Greenberger PA. JACI 2002;110:685-692 Agarwal R. Chest 2009;135:805-826
Stage I Acute Phase Clinical picture Usually symptomatic, fever, weight loss, wheeze Radiologic findings Normal or presence of radiologic opacities Immunologic Features and treatment IgE > 1.000 IU/mL, specific IgG/IgE , precipitins to As.f 0.5-1mg/kg prednisone for 1-2 wk for 6-8 wk taper by 5-10 mg every 2 wk and discontinue repeat total IgE and chest radiograph in 6-8 wk
Stage II Remission Clinical picture Asymptomatic Radiologic findings Normal or significant resolution of radiologic opacities Immunologic Features and treatment Usually 35-50% decline in IgE levels by 6wk to 3 mo Complete remission no ABPA exacerbations over the next 3 mo after stopping steroid therapy Follow-up serial IgE levels every 6 mo then annually
Stage III Exacerbation Clinical picture Symptomatic as in acute phase Radiologic findings Transient or fixed pulmonary opacities Immunologic Features and treatment Doubling of IgE levels from baseline Treatment as in acute phase 25-50% of the patients have exacerbation
Stage IV Glucocorticoid-dependent ABPA Clinical picture Symptomatic Radiologic findings Transient or fixed pulmonary opacities Immunologic Features and treatment • IgE levels not rise but require steroids for asthma control • Steroids are required to continually supress diseases • activity (glucocorticoid-dependent ABPA) • Should be alternate-day prednisone with the least possible dose
Stage V End-Stage (Fibrotic ABPA) Clinical picture Symptomatic, fixed airway obstruction, severe pulmonary dysfunction, type II RF, cor pulmonale Radiologic findings Bronchiectasis, pulmonary fibrosis,pulmonary hypertension Immunologic Features and treatment • Serum IgE levels and spesific Igs do not become normal in most patients, and frequent exacerbations • Prednisolon (long term) • Itraconazole 200mg bid for 16 wk
Treatment Protocols ABPA • Oral glucocorticoids - 0.5 mg/kg/d for 1-2 wk then on alternate days for 6-8 wk. Then taper by 5-10 mg/2wk - Repeat total IgE and radiography in 6 to 8 wk - 35% decline in IgE level signifies response • Oral Itraconazole - 200 mg bid for 16 wk then once a day for 16 wk - First relapse ABPA or glucocorticoid-dependent ABPA - Inhibits the metabolism methylprednisolone • Inhaled Corticosteroids No superiority over placebo.
