Abstract:
Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) is an overlooked disease category in which delay of diagnosis and treatment is associated with increased mortality. A prerequisite for prognostic optimization of CPA is an increased focus on predisposing factors and patients at risk. Diagnosis of CPA is challenging and requires a systematic approach to assessment and interpretation of findings, both of which are necessary for correct disease classification and selection of targeted antifungal treatment and duration.
