{{DISPLAYTITLE:''Aspergillus udagawae''}}

== Background ==

* Species of mold within the genus [[Genus::Aspergillus]]

== Clinical Manifestations ==

* Rare cases of infection in humans
* Cases that I could find in Pubmed in October 2024:
** Fungal canaliculitis in an immunocompetent patient, managed with drainage alone[[CiteRef::nishihara2023is]]
** Fungal endocarditis in a patient with [[ALL]] that was fatal despite [[voriconazole]][[CiteRef::seki2017fa]]
** Disseminated disease in a patient on chemotherapy for [[MDS]][[CiteRef::目2021骨髄]]
** 4 cases of invasive fungal pulmonary infection in 3 patients with [[CGD]] and 1 with [[MDS]][[CiteRef::vinh2009in]]
*** All patients required long courses with more treatment failures than comparable patients with [[Aspergillus fumigatus]]
*** 2 patients died
** 2 cases of pulmonary infections in patients with malignancies[[CiteRef::escribano2013is]]
** Bronchial infection in a patient with [[diabetes mellitus]] that was successfully treated with [[voriconazole]][[CiteRef::gyotoku2012a]]
** Fungal keratitis in a healthy patient with clinical failure on [[itraconazole]][[CiteRef::posteraro2011un]]

== Management ==

* Increased MICs compared to [[Aspergillus fumigatus]] and frequent clinical failures of antifungals
* No clinical breakpoints are available given the rarity of the species
