The increase of organ transplantations during the last decades conjointly with the prescription of heavy immunosuppressive drugs, has led to an increased incidence of new invasive aspergillosis (IA). This study is a report of the Broussais Hospital experience from 1968 to 1993 on kidney, heart and heart and lungs transplantations. It concerns 21 IA cases. Incidence was 0.5% for kidney, 4.5% for heart and 18% for heart and lungs transplantations. The most important risk factors were the increase of immunosuppressive therapy (66% of the cases), neutropenia (19%), and renovation of the hospital wards (36%). Lung was the most frequent site of infection (95% of the cases), clinical symptoms were no significant. Diagnosis procedures were realised on biopsy (23%) and on bronchoalveolar lavage (66%). Usual amphotericin B treatment was disappointing: mortality rate of 77%, the liposomal preparation of the drug seemed to be more efficient: mortality rate of 50%. Itraconazole appeared to be used in succession with a careful adaptation of posology. Prophylactic amphotericin B in a local way (sprays and aerosols) led to a good efficiency jointly with the patient isolation during constructions in the hospital area.
