| aeroallergens in dairy barns near cooperstown, new york and rochester, minnesota. | we sampled atmospheric barn air using a volumetric air sampler in ten barns near cooperstown, ny and six barns near rochester, mn, and, with radioimmunoassays, measured allergens of aspergillus fumigatus, thermoactinomyces vulgaris, micropolyspori faeni, short ragweed, rye grass group i pollen, alternaria (alt-1), dermatophagoides sp. lepidoglyphus destructor, common insect allergen, mouse urine, rat urine, and cattle epithelium. the most abundant allergen present was a. fumigatus followed by l. ... | 1989 | 2764367 |
| in-hospital source of airborne penicillium species spores. | between 16 july and 1 october 1984, prospectively monitored corridor air samples from a bone marrow transplant station revealed a marked increase in airborne thermotolerant penicillium spores. simultaneous cultures of outside air showed lower spore counts, which were unchanged before, during, and after the corridor outburst, establishing that the source was within the hospital. although the corridor was equipped with recirculating high-efficiency particulate air filtration units which provided 1 ... | 1987 | 3539981 |
| aspergillus fumigatus and other thermotolerant fungi generated by hospital building demolition. | on 13 september 1981, a 51-year-old seven-story building within our hospital complex was demolished by explosives. the concern that this event might release large numbers of thermotolerant fungi (tf), potentially hazardous to immunosuppressed patients, led us to seal hospital windows and doors. the air-handling systems were also manipulated. concentrations of airborne tf, especially aspergillus fumigatus, were determined before and after demolition, using andersen and cassella air samplers with ... | 1983 | 6354086 |
| prevalence of aspergillus fumigatus in free-living goshawks (accipiter gentilis atricapillus). | during the fall migration of 1972 and 1973 unusually large numbers of goshawks (accipiter gentilis atricapillus) were counted at hawk ridge in duluth, minnesota. these birds were sampled for prevalence of fungi of the genus aspergillus. fungi of this genus were recovered from 26 of 49 birds (53%) in 1972 and 4 of 45 (7%) birds in 1973. aspergillosis was confirmed at necropsy in three wild goshawks in 1972, but none in 1973. the disease was further confirmed at necropsy in 8 of 12 (67%) goshawks ... | 1980 | 7001046 |
| incidence and clinical characteristics of ocular infections after heart transplantation: a retrospective cohort study. | ocular infections associated with organ transplantation are well documented following renal and liver transplantation; however, few studies have reported ocular infections following heart transplant. | 2009 | 19573087 |
| ten-year air sample analysis of aspergillus prevalence in a university hospital. | airborne fungal samples were collected on a monthly basis for 10 years, from 1995 to 2005, at a tertiary university hospital. paired samples were cultured at 25 and 37 degrees c. data were interpreted according to the air filtration systems serving each location. samples cultured at 37 degrees c from the patient care areas had a mean recovery of 18% of the mean recovery from outdoor air (22 versus 122cfu/m(3)). recovery of aspergillus spp. at 37 degrees c in the high-efficiency particulate air ( ... | 2007 | 17719681 |
