	Aspergillus Trust welcome to Aspergillus Trust UK
		The Aspergillus Trust is a charity launched to raise awareness of diseases caused by the fungus aspergillus.
		To be advocates for those who suffer from aspergillus diseases and to improve the effectiveness of, and access to, treatment for aspergillus diseases available within the healthcare sector.
		To this end we hope to raise public awareness of the existence and nature of aspergillus diseases, so as to influence effectively the policy debate about, and decisions on, the allocation of resources, both public and private, for research into, and treatment of, aspergillus diseases.

	Aspergillus fumigatus Genome Project
		fumigatus in particular is harmless to humans whose immune system has not been compromised by disease, drug therapy or genetic conditions.
		fumigatus is a primary, albeit rare, pathogen of man. Allergic disease due to Aspergillus was first described in London in 1952 (Hinson et al., 1952) and the first invasive (and fatal) infection in an immunocompromised patient was described in 1953 in the British Medical Journal in a patient from Gloucester (Rankin, 1953).
		In addition to invasive disease, Aspergillus causes a number of other diseases in man. These include aspergilloma ("colonisation" of existing pulmonary cavities), sinusitis in normal people, allergic bronchopulmonary and sinus infections, keratitis (which usually leads to blindness in that eye and is common in the developing world) and postoperative infections in immunocompetent patients.

	Aspergillus (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Aspergillus spp.are thermotolerant fungi that cause significant disease among immunocompromised hosts, primarily pneumonia and sinusitis that will disseminate to other organs including the skin and the brain (see the definition).
		However, the incidence of this disease is clearly dependent upon a number of factors including the type of and amount of immunosuppression, conditioning process used during transplantation, the severity of GVHD that develops, the institution’s air filtration and the environment, the season and other undefined or competing factors.
		Outbreaks are associated with unfiltered air, contaminated ventilation systems at intake and exhaust ducts, and dust that is dislodged by renovation and construction.

		The authors describe a case of spondylodiscitis from Aspergillus fumigatus which occurred subsequent to surgery for lumbar disc herniation in a non-immunodepressed patient.
		Aspergillus is a saprophyte of the airways described for the first time by Micheli in 1729.1 Aspergillosis is a rare disease which, in healthy subjects, is often responsible for allergy-based conditions of the respiratory system, although other localizations have been observed in the skin, paranasal sinuses, orbits, skeleton/ bones or in the CNS.1,2
		In subjects without immunological impairment, a vertebral localization of Aspergillus infection is generally attributable to iatrogenic causes related to surgical treatment9 and the pathogenetic mechanism appears to be inoculation of the spores present in the air into the disc space during operation.

		Characteristically, A fumigatus organisms are identified by the morphology of the conidia and conidiophores.
		Aspergillus disseminates by means of conidia, which disperse readily throughout the environment because of their lightweight.
		Aspergillus can be isolated from culture of specimens (eg, blood, spinal fluid, bronchoalveolar fluid, bronchial lavage fluid, endotracheal aspirates), other fluids (eg, synovial, pleural, peritoneal), bone marrow, and from biopsies of internal organs and nonsterile specimens (eg, skin scrapings, nail, hair, urine, mucosal surfaces).
