Journal for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy-Medical Mycology Joint Issue
Aspergillosis continues to be a frequent cause of opportunistic infection and mortality among patients with suppressed immunity and those with airway diseases. This virtual issue is a joint endeavour between the Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy and Medical Mycology to highlight the diagnosis and the clinical aspects of the management of chronic aspergillosis as well as the relatively new phenomenon of emergent azole resistance.ISHAM hope the reader will find the collection useful in gaining new insights into aspergillosis from a laboratory and clinical perspective.

Comment on "Sterilizing immunity in the lung relies on targeting fungal apoptosis-like programmed cell death"
Shlezinger et al. (Reports, 8 September 2017, p. 1037) report that the common fungus Aspergillus fumigatus, a cause of aspergillosis, undergoes caspase-dependent apoptosis-like cell death triggered by lung neutrophils. However, the technologies they used do not provide reliable evidence that fungal cells die via a protease signaling cascade thwarted by a fungal caspase inhibitor homologous to human survivin.

What Causes Hyponatremia?
Discussion
Normal kidneys regulate water balance to maintain a plasma osmolality of 275-290 mOsm/kg normally. Thirst and arginine vasopressin or antidiuretic hormone (ADH) are the primary regulators of plasma osmolality. ADH is made in the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary gland. ADH acts on the kidney’s distal collecting duct to increase water reabsorption. ADH is appropriately released in hypovolemic states, such as dehydration caused by gastroenteritis. ADH has an ~10 minute half-life and therefore can respond to rapid changes in volume status. Sodium balance is regulated by aldosterone (as part...
