Evolving strategies in the management of aspergillosis

Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy
Shelley S MagillD W Warnock

Abstract

Aspergillus spp. remain the most common causes of invasive mould infections among patients with hematologic malignancies and recipients of solid-organ and hematopoietic stem-cell transplants. Despite advances in prevention and treatment, invasive aspergillosis continues to be a deadly disease. This paper reviews current approaches to treatment of aspergillosis in adults, including surgical and immune-based strategies, and developments in prophylaxis for aspergillosis in high-risk patient populations.

Aspergillosis

Aspergillosis is the name given to a wide variety of diseases caused by infection by fungi of the genus Aspergillus. Aspergillosis occurs in chronic or acute forms which are clinically very distinct. Most cases of acute aspergillosis occur in patients with severely compromised immune systems. Chronic colonization or infection can cause complications in people with underlying respiratory illnesses. Discover the latest research on aspergillosis here.
