Diagnosis of Aspergillosis in Horses.

Abstract: Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) may be a rare cause of granulomatous pneumonia in horses. The mortality of IPA is almost 100%; direct diagnostic tools in horses are needed. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and serum samples were collected from 18 horses, including individuals suffering from IPA (n = 1), equine asthma (EA, n = 12), and 5 healthy controls. Serum samples were collected from another 6 healthy controls. Samples of BALF (n = 18) were analyzed for spp. DNA, fungal galactomannan (GM), ferricrocin (Fc), triacetylfusarinin C (TafC), and gliotoxin (Gtx). Analysis of 24 serum samples for (1,3)-β-D-glucan (BDG) and GM was performed. Median serum BDG levels were 131 pg/mL in controls and 1142 pg/mL in IPA. Similar trends were observed in BALF samples for GM (Area under the Curve (AUC) = 0.941) and DNA (AUC = 0.941). The fungal secondary metabolite Gtx was detected in IPA BALF and lung tissue samples (86 ng/mL and 2.17 ng/mg, AUC = 1).

The research article concerns the diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) in horses, a potentially fatal condition. Using serum samples and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, the presence of IPA was detected by analyzing differences in metabolite concentrations between healthy horses, those with equine asthma, and those with IPA.

Introduction

In this research paper, the authors aim to explore direct diagnostic tools for detecting invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) in horses, a fungal infection that causes a severe form of pneumonia. In horses, the condition is rare but deadly, with nearly all cases resulting in mortality. Accurate and early diagnosis is crucial for a chance at successful treatment.

Data Collection and Testing

  • The nature of the sample collection included both bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF)— a method to examine the cells and fluid in the air sacs of the lungs— and serum samples acquired from blood tests.
  • The samples were collected from 18 horses and categorized into three groups: those displaying signs of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA), those with a chronic respiratory condition called equine asthma (EA), and 5 healthy control horses. Additional serum samples were collected from another 6 healthy controls.
  • Various tests were performed on the samples to detect different fungal elements: spp. DNA, fungal galactomannan (GM), ferricrocin (Fc), triacetylfusarinin C (TafC), and gliotoxin (Gtx).

Analysis and Results

  • Analysis of 24 serum samples for (1,3)-β-D-glucan (BDG) and GM was conducted. BDG is a glucose polymer found in fungal cells, and increased levels in serum are commonly associated with fungal infection. The median BDG levels in control horses’ serum were 131 pg/mL, while in IPA diagnosed horses’ serum, this was significantly higher—1142 pg/mL.
  • Similar trends were found in BALF samples for GM and DNA. The Area under the Curve (AUC) score of 0.941 signifies a very high level of diagnostic accuracy, suggesting elevated levels of these compounds are strong indicators of IPA.
  • Additionally, they detected the fungal secondary metabolite Gtx in the IPA horses’ BALF and lung tissue samples. Gtx is a toxic compound produced by the Aspergillus fungus, and its presence further confirms an IPA infection.

Conclusion

Overall, the study shows that detecting DNA and various fungal metabolites in BALF and serum samples from horses can provide a robust method of diagnosing IPA. This research contributes to the understanding of IPA diagnosis in horses and may improve their prognosis.
