Nebulised corticosteroid and amphotericin B: an alternative treatment for ABPA?
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a pulmonary disease that results from a hypersensitivity response to Aspergillus fumigatus [1]. It occurs in asthmatic and cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, with a prevalence among CF patients recently estimated at 7.8% [1]. The natural course is characterised by acute exacerbations, which can be life-threatening [2], and progressive, irreversible,...

متن کاملNebulised amphotericin B-polymethacrylic acid nanoparticle prophylaxis prevents invasive aspergillosis
UNLABELLED Aspergillus species are the major life threatening fungal pathogens in transplant patients. Germination of inhaled fungal spores initiates infection, causes severe pneumonia, and has a mortality of >50%. This is leading to the consideration of pre-exposure prophylaxis to prevent infection. We made a very low MWt amphotericin B-polymethacrylic acid nanoparticle. It was not toxic to lu...
متن کاملAn Overview on Probiotics as an Alternative Strategy for Prevention and Treatment of Human Diseases
Aims: Probiotics are viable and useful microorganisms, which are beneficial factors for human and animal health by altering their microbial flora. Most of the probiotics belong to a large group of bacteria in the human gastrointestinal tract. There are several clinical shreds of evidence that show anti-carcinogenic effects of probiotics through altering digestive enzymes, inhibition of carcinog...
