Aspergillosis - the disease caused by mushrooms of sort Aspergillus with frequent localization in bronchial pulmonary system.

Etiology, pathogenesis. Aspergillus - the saprophytes widely widespread in the nature all-the-year-round allocating disputes. To disease conducts inhalation of a plenty of spores aspergillus, for example at work with decaying hay with a mould. In a pathogenesis, except for hemolitic influence of an endotoxin, a greater role depression of a reactivity of an organism at chronic illnesses (plays a tuberculosis, pyeses, neoplasms, systemic illnesses of a blood, an alcoholism, etc.) or at long application of glucocorticoids.

Signs, current. The allergic bronchial pulmonary aspergillosis arises at healthy faces with initially not changed immunologic status. The fever, a bronchospasm are characteristic; the sputum can have a brown shade, casts of bronchuses sometimes clear the throat; at inspection tap transitional pulmonary infiltrates, proximal bronchiectasias, an eosinophilia of a peripheric blood, rising of a level of immunoglobulins of a class of E.Techenie can be long with repeated exacerbations and development of a serious bronchial asthma; in some cases there comes convalescence. The endobronchial pulmonary aspergillosis is characterized by productive tussis, is frequent - a pneumorrhagia. The aspergilloma (the colonies of a mushroom freely laying in a tubercular cavern, in an abscess cavity, bronchiectasias, a site of slowly resolving pneumonia, an infarct of a lung, in the field of a tumour) can proceed asymptomatically, but the pneumorrhagia, loss of mass of a body (down to a cachexia), a heat, a stethalgia, progressing an aggravation of symptoms are more often observed tussis with an expectoration without a smell.
