CLASSIFICATION OF ASPERGILLOSIS Airways/nasal exposure to airborne Aspergillus Persistence without disease - colonisation of the airways or nose/sinuses Invasive aspergillosis • Acute (<1 month course) • Subacute/chronic necrotising (1 -3 months) Chronic aspergillosis (>3 months) • Chronic cavitary pulmonary • Aspergilloma of lung • Chronic fibrosing pulmonary • Chronic invasive sinusitis • Maxillary (sinus) aspergilloma Allergic • Allergic bronchopulmonary (ABPA) • Extrinsic allergic (broncho)alveolitis (EAA) • Asthma with fungal sensitisation (SAFS) • Allergic Aspergillus sinusitis (eosinophilic fungal rhinosinusitis)

Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis – -existing disease pre Prior pulmonary disease esp: Atypical mycobacteria pulmonary infection Sarcoidosis Tuberculosis Recurrent pneumothorax Prior pulmonary surgery ABPA Denning DW et al, Clin Infect Dis 2003; 37: S 265
Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis serology All 18 patients had positive Aspergillus precipitins (1+-4+) All 18 patients had elevated inflammatory markers, CRP, PV and / or ESR May have elevated total Ig. E and Aspergillus specific Ig. E (RAST) Denning DW et al, Clin Infect Dis 2003; 37: S 265
Mannose Binding Protein - Mutations MBP sticks avidly to A. fumigatus hyphae in vitro 5 mutations described 2 in promoter region (less important) 3 in open reading frame (M 52, M 54, M 57) Codon 54 mutation present in 16% of Caucasians, homozygous in 2% Defects associated with bacterial infections in children and hepatitis B carriage Eisen & Minchinton Clin Infect Dis 2003; 37: 1496
CPA and MBL defects Study 1 • 8 of 11 (72%) had low MBL genotypes p=<0. 05 (compared to normal controls) Study 2 • 8 of 17 (47%) had low MBL genotypes p=0. 0002 Crosdale et al J Infect Dis 2001; 184: 653. Vaid et al, unpublished
Innate immunity proteins - surfactant 5 surfactant proteins in man, SPA 1, SPA 2, SPB, SPC and SPD – all ‘collectin’ family SPB - single ORF polymorphism (Thr 131 Ile) associated with ARDS Exogenous SPD protective against murine IA Sano H & Kuroki Y. Molecular Immunology 2006; 42: 279 -87
Role of surfactant Wright JR Nat Rev Immunol 2005; 5: 58.
CPA and surfactant A 2 defects • CCPA patients had 32% and 22% frequency of 2 SPA 2 mutations, compared with normals (18% and 11%) (p=0. 021 and p=0. 044) Vaid et al, unpublished
CPA and cytokine gene defects 3 groups of patients: • CCPA (n=24) • Other aspergillosis, mostly allergic (n=15) • Other caucasian controls (n=130 -660) Polymorphisms in IL-10, IL-15, αTNF, γIFN and TGFβ detected by PCR Sambatakou et al, Int J Immunogenet 2006 In press

CPA and cytokine gene defects 3 groups of patients: • CCPA (n=24) • Other aspergillosis, mostly allergic (n=15) • Other caucasian controls (n=130 -660) Polymorphisms in IL-10, IL-15, αTNF, γIFN and TGFβ detected by PCR CCPA patients have genotypes consistent with low IL-10, low TGFβ, low αTNF , high IL-15 and high γIFN = a TH 2 -driven response and poor inflammatory control, esp if chronically infected Sambatakou et al Int J Immunogenetic 2006 In press

CPA treatment – IFN gamma? Denning DW et al, Clin Infect Dis 2003; 37(Suppl 3): S 265 -80.
CPA treatment - principles • Important defects in innate immunity so long term (i. e. life-long) antifungal treatment, if possible • May fail itraconazole initially, respond to IV amphotericin B, and be successfully maintained on itraconazole • Itraconazole failures may respond to voriconazole • Caspofungin not very effective (personal observation) • Gamma IFN helpful in some cases • Monitor for azole resistance Jain & Denning J Infect 2006; 52: e 133 -7.
