Cat#:EIA-775C;Product Name:Aspergillus Fumigatus IgG ELISA Kit;Size:96 T;Sample:serum and plasma;Intended use:in-vitro diagnostic;Synonym:Fungi; Ascomycota; Eurotiomycetes; Eurotiales; Trichocomaceae; Aspergillus; fumigatus; Aspergillus fumigatus; Neosartorya fumigata;Background:Aspergillus species of known pathogenicity to man are Aspergillus fumigatus, A. flavus, A. niger, A. terreus and A. nidulans. The most common pathogen of this genus is A. fumingatus which occurs in hay, grain, rotten plants and birds faeces. The main opportunistic invasive fungial infections are the candidal mycosis followed by aspergillosis. Generally infections with Aspergillus spp. are airborne. Because of the ubiquity of Aspergillus species it renders more difficult to decide between contamination by commensals or a serious infection. Usually infection in man occurs in already damaged tissues only. Aspergillus spp. can cause a chronical infection of paranasal sinus, eyes or lungs.Three types of lung-aspergillosis can be distinguished:a: Acute infection (bronchial pneumonia; pneumonia) Aspergillus pneumonia is mostly found in patients with neutropenia (decrease of neutrophil granulocytes), after a long-time therapy with glucocorticoids, in immunosuppressed patients (after organ transplantation) and in alcoholics.b: Saprophytic aspergillom (compact reticulum of hyphae in the lungs) Preformed caves in the lung due to a previous tuberculosis give place to a colonisation of Aspergillus species.c: Allergic bronchopulmonal aspergillosis This clinical picture is not due to an infectious disease but a hypersensitive reaction of the bronchial system (mediated by IgE) after inhalation of aspergillus spores. Subsequently the bronchial system produces highly viscous secretions, that may block the bronchial lumen. The patient develops difficulties of breathing and a fibrosis.;Species Reactivity:Bacteria;Application:quantitative;Storage:Unopened Kit: Store at 2 - 8°C. Do not use past kit expiration date.
