Halo sign Hals sign: mass-like consolidation with peripheral GGO 41-year old neutropenic man who received CTx for AML Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis Georgiadou et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2011;52:

Halo sign Proportion of halos sign after diagnosis of IPA Day 0: 100%, day 3: 68%, day 7: 28%, day 14: 19% Halo sign is not sensitive or not specific for diagnosing Invasive fungal disease!! Caillot et al. J Clin Oncol. 2001;19:253-9

Clinical Experiences of Lung Biopsy 1.Immunocompetent (n =5) or solid cancer (n = 13) 2.Lung biopsy (18 cases) non-diagnostic (n = 13), MSSA (n = 1), MRSA (n = 1), P. aeruginosa (n = 1), Legionella pneumoniae (n = 2) Actinomycosis (?) 3.Empirical regimen: Ampicillin/sulbactam 3.0 gm q 6hr + levofloxacin 750 mg

Diagnostic Dillema 1.Halo sign in bacterial infection → Exudate 2. Halo sign in invasive fungal disease → angioinvasion 3. Diagnostic lung biopsy → bleeding risk → diagnostic dillema

Probable IFD At least a)1 host criterion AND b)1 clinical criterion AND c)1 microbiological criterion Possible IFD At least a)1 host criterion AND b)1 clinical criterion BUT c)no microbiological criterion

Revised EORTC 1.Well-circumscribed lesion with or without halo sign 2.Air-crescent sign 3.Cavity

Clinical Features of COP 1.Persistent nonproductive cough (72%) 2.Dyspnea (66%) 3.Fever (51%) 4.Malaise (48%) 5.Weight loss of greater than 10 pounds (57%) 6.Migratory multifocal consolidation King TE Jr. Organizing pneumonia.

Take Home Message 1.Various differential diagnosis of multifocal consolidation with or without halo sign 2.Halo sign: not sensitive or not specific for diagnosing invasive fungal disease 3.Host factors: immunocompromised vs. immunocompetent !!
