New/Different Look at the Presence of Aspergillus in Mycobacterial Pulmonary Diseases. Long-Term Retrospective Cohort Study
Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) has been reported to be associated with poor prognosis in non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM)-pulmonary disease (PD) patients. However, whether isolation of Apergillus species is associated with poor outcome or mostly just the reflection of colonization is a wide...

description | Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) has been reported to be associated with poor prognosis in non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM)-pulmonary disease (PD) patients. However, whether isolation of Apergillus species is associated with poor outcome or mostly just the reflection of colonization is a widely debated issue and a yet unsolved question. We conducted this single-centered retrospective cohort study of 409 NTM-PD patients to assess the impacts and prevalence of Aspergillus isolation and CPA development. The median observation time was 85 months. Aspergillus species were isolated from 79 (19.3%) and 23 (5.6%) developed CPA. Isolation of Aspergillus species was not associated with mortality in NTM-PD patients (p = 0.9016). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that higher CRP (p = 0.0213) and AFB stain positivity (p = 0.0101) were independently associated with Aspergillus isolation. Different mycobacterial species were not associated with Aspergillus isolation. Survival curves for patients with CPA diagnosis were significantly and strikingly different from those without (p = 0.0064), suggesting that CPA development severely affects clinical outcome. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the use of systemic steroids (p = 0.0189) and cavity (p = 0.0207) were independent risk factors for the progression to CPA. Considering the high mortality rate of CPA in NTM-PD, early diagnosis and treatment are essential to improve outcomes for NTM-PD patients. |
