Mycotoxins and Tremors

[Guest guest]

Since my tremors went from mild head and neck in 2004 with mild

exposure to whole upper body tremors with my exposure taken to

extremes, I did a search and came upon an interesting Report.

The Investigator from the Health Dept told me there was 1 reported case

of Aspergillis " F " and I don't recal which F he said...Flavus of

Fumigatus

Aspergillus: ascomycete; dust, soil; most common laboratory contaminant;

causes adult hepatitis, arteritis, brain and

epidural abscess in neutropenics, chorioretinitis, encephalitis,

endocarditis (coronary artery surgery, liver

transplantation), endophthalmitis (rare, bloodborne), enterocolitis, hepatic

granuloma, keratitis and iritis, localised skin

lesions, local and generalised sepsis, lymph gland infections (rare),

mycotic aneurism, nonpyogenic meningitis

(infrequent in neutropenics and impaired cell-mediated immunity), 1% of

nosocomial fungal infections, osteomyelitis

(predisposing factors), pericarditis (in 4% of disseminated cases),

pneumonia, postseptal cellulitis in immunosuppressed,

prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis (uncommon), upper airways infection,

urinary infection, vascular graft infection

(rare), superinfection in anti-tumour therapy, chronic granulomatous

disease, corticosteroid therapy, leukemia during

therapy, rheumatoid lung, interrupted integument, neutrophil dysfunction,

systemic infection in granulocytopenia,

microbicidal abnormality; primary bodily defence mechanism humoral immune

responses (phagocytes +++, basophilmast

cell +); deficiencies in neutrophils, mononuclear phagocytes, integument, ?

altered normal flora, ? humoral factors

in infection; diagnosis: latex agglutination (? 1+; anti-culture filtrate

antigen), counterimmunoelectrophoresis,

immunodiffusion (1-2 bands in aspergilloma/allergy, ? 3 bands in

aspergilloma/invasive aspergillosis), complement

fixation test (? 1:8; limited value), ELISA, indirect fluorescent antibody

(titre ? 1:66), radioimmunoassay, precipitin,

wet preparation, tissue stains (Grocott’s methenamine silver, periodic

acid-Schiff), culture; treatment: amphotericin B

(MIC 0.05-8 mg/L), flucytosine (0.2-1.56 mg/L), itraconazole, natamycin,

rifampicin; resistant to miconazole,

ketoconazole, fluconazole

A.carbonarius: some isolates produce ochratoxin (grapes and grape products,

peanuts)
