Aspergillosis:
Treatment
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Aspergillosis doesn’t require isolation. Treatment requires local excision of the lesion and supportive therapy, such as chest physiotherapy and coughing, to improve pulmonary function. Endocarditis caused by Aspergillus is treated by surgical removal of infected heart valves and long-term amphotericin B therapy. Allergic aspergillosis requires desensitization and, possibly, steroids. Disseminated aspergillosis and aspergillosis endophthalmitis require a 2- to 3-week course of I.V. amphotericin B (as well as prompt cessation of immunosuppressive therapy). Voriconazole or itraconazole can also be used for treatment. However, the disseminated form results in an infection that's so virulent that amphotericin B therapy can’t stop the systemic involvement; eventually, death ensues.
