Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis is a long-term fungal infection caused by members of the genus Aspergillus-most commonly Aspergillus fumigatus. (wikipedia.org)
The term describes several disease presentations with considerable overlap, ranging from an aspergilloma-a clump of Aspergillus mold in the lungs-through to a subacute, invasive form known as chronic necrotizing pulmonary aspergillosis which affects people whose immune system is weakened. (wikipedia.org)
Many people affected by chronic pulmonary aspergillosis have an underlying lung disease, most commonly tuberculosis, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, asthma, or lung cancer. (wikipedia.org)
Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis as a term encompasses a number of different presentations of varying severity. (wikipedia.org)
They can arise within any bodily cavity, though in chronic pulmonary aspergillosis they form within pulmonary cavities that have been colonized by Aspergillus spp. (wikipedia.org)
If there is a single, stable cavity that provides minimal symptoms, the term 'simple aspergilloma' is commonly used to distinguish it from more severe forms of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis. (wikipedia.org)
When people without immunocompromise undergo formation of one or more pulmonary cavities, this is called chronic cavitary pulmonary aspergillosis. (wikipedia.org)
In contrast to aspergilloma and Aspergillus nodules, the vast majority of people with chronic cavitary pulmonary aspergillosis have positive tests for IgG antibodies. (wikipedia.org)
When chronic cavitary pulmonary aspergillosis is left untreated, it can progress to a form of aspergillosis known as chronic fibrosing pulmonary aspergillosis). (wikipedia.org)
Also known as subacute invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, this form of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis leads to progressive features over the course of one to three months-usually in people with some degree of immunocompromise. (wikipedia.org)
It is more common in people who are elderly or dependent on alcohol, or with diseases such as diabetes, malnutrition, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or HIV/AIDS. (wikipedia.org)
In contrast to chronic cavitary pulmonary aspergillosis, for example, IgG antibodies for Aspergillus or an antigen called galactomannan may be found in the blood as well as in sputum samples. (wikipedia.org)
People with chronic pulmonary aspergillosis typically present with a prolonged, several month history of unintentional weight loss, chronic cough which is normally productive of sputum, shortness of breath and haemoptysis. (wikipedia.org)
Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis can cause bleeding into the lung parenchyma which can range from mild to life-threatening. (wikipedia.org)

Body mass index, stage of change, and poorer perceived health were independently associated with receiving advice about weight. (cdc.gov)
Body weight is also known to affect individuals' self-esteem and interpersonal relationships, including romantic ones. (springer.com)
