Article
Angioinvasive aspergillosis
Angioinvasive aspergillosis is the most severe and aggressive form of invasive aspergillosis. It is a life-threatening condition that requires prompt treatment. Fortunately, it is not seen in the general population and only occurs in profoundly immunocompromised patients.

Article
Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis
Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is a form of pulmonary aspergillosis seen in patients with decreased immunity. It comprises a number of entities that are discussed individually:
subacute invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (previously known as chronic necrotizing aspergillosis (CNA) or semi-in...
Article
Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis
Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) is a group of chronic aspergillosis found in non-immunocompromised patients with prior or current lung disease (e.g. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, mycobacteriosis or conditions such as diabetes).
It can manifest as several forms 1.
chronic cavitar...

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is at the mild end of the spectrum of disease caused by pulmonary aspergillosis and can be classified as an eosinophilic lung disease 2-4.
Epidemiology
This entity is most commonly encountered in patients with longstanding asthma, and only occasi...
Article
Mucormycosis vs aspergillosis
It is important to be able to distinguish between mucormycosis and aspergillosis because:
antifungal sensitivity: mucormycosis is resistant to voriconazole, whilst aspergillosis is sensitive to it
mucormycosis may have an improved prognosis if treated earlier
It is to be noted that there has...
Article
Obstructive bronchopulmonary aspergillosis
Obstructive bronchopulmonary aspergillosis is an uncommon manifestation of non-invasive aspergillosis seen in patients with AIDS. It is typically caused by Aspergillus fumigatus and represents marked overgrowth of intraluminal of the fungus.
Article
Subacute invasive pulmonary aspergillosis
Subacute invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (previously known as chronic necrotizing aspergillosis or semi-invasive aspergillosis) is subacute to chronic localized and indolent form of invasive aspergillosis. It is also sometimes grouped under the term chronic pulmonary aspergillosis.
Epidemiolog...
Article
Chronic fibrosing pulmonary aspergillosis
Chronic fibrosing pulmonary aspergillosis (CFPA) is the terminal fibrosing evolution of chronic cavitary pulmonary aspergillosis (CCPA).
Pathology
This situation tends to occur when CCPA remains untreated resulting in extensive pulmonary fibrosis. The fibrosis may be limited to one or both upp...
Article
Chronic cavitary pulmonary aspergillosis
Chronic cavitary pulmonary aspergillosis (CCPA) is considered the most common form of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis. In untreated cases, this may progress to chronic fibrosing pulmonary aspergillosis.
