• Surgical Procedure

  After surgical procedure, microscopic examination revealed aspergillosis. Overextension into the maxillary sinus with root canal cements has to be avoided. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  If spillage of fungal infection is anticipated because of the complexity of the surgical procedure, antifungal therapy can be administered in the weeks preceding surgery (SoR A and QoE III). [erj.ersjournals.com]

• Congestive Heart Failure

  Further history included moderate pulmonary hypertension, New York Heart Association Class III 2 congestive heart failure and an episode of mycobacterium avium complex that was successfully treated 3 years prior to the initial visit with us. [journal.copdfoundation.org]

  Amongst symptomatic, the most common symptoms include cough and hemoptysis. [thoracicmedicine.org]

  Occasionally due to surrounding reactive vascular granulation tissue, hemoptysis may be present. Occasionally, erosion into a bronchial artery may lead to life-threatening hemoptysis 1. [radiopaedia.org]

  In such cases surgical resection is indicated if significant hemoptysis occurs. [aacijournal.biomedcentral.com]

• Productive Cough

  Patients will usually have very minor symptoms, such as a mild cough, and little evidence of systemic inflammation. When symptoms progress, patients may present with weight loss, productive cough, fatigue and shortness of breath. [journal.copdfoundation.org]

• Hypertension

  There was no history of diabetes, hypertension, or any other significant disease/ disorder. [priory.com]

  There was no history of diabetes, hypertension or any other significant disease/ disorder. The patient had a past history of smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis 3 years back, for which he was advised antituberculosis drugs (ATT). [thoracicmedicine.org]

  It may be attributed to subtropical and humid climates in North of Iran, so hot and humid climates predispose to fungal, skin diseases. [e-ijd.org]

• Irritability

  Fecal transplant is used to treat gut infections and is now being studied as a treatment for obesity, urinary tract infections, irritable bowel syndrome and more. [nytimes.com]

  When the lesion irritates the bone surface, a periosteal reaction or diffuse reactive sclerosis may take place. Penetration of the periosteum and cortex leads to formation of bone cavities. [pubs.rsna.org]

Certain associated atypical symptoms may warrant further workup. The authors present a case of a patient presenting with painful tearing which elicited further evaluation with CT imaging. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment and prognosis The treatment is chosen only after distinguishing if the disease is an actinomycetoma or a eumycetoma. [afwgonline.com]

The etiologic agents range from bacteria to fungi existing free in nature as soil or plant saprophytes gaining entrance into the tissues through abrasion or implantation. Actinomycetoma is caused by aerobic species of actinomycetes. [aspergillus.org.uk]

Aspergillus nidulans is a rare etiological agent, causing pale grain mycetoma. Only 7 cases of Aspergillus nidulans mycetoma have been reported in literature - 1 from India (Rajasthan, 1985), 6 from Africa. [ijidonline.com]
