Aspergillus and the paediatric lung
Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 11/06/09

Hatziagorou E et al. – Aspergilloma is managed by observation or surgery. IPA is predominantly seen in patients with haematological malignancies, chronic granulomatous disease or immunosuppressive treatment. With the use of aggressive therapies for end–stage CF, such as heart–lung transplantation, the potential for a patient to convert from colonization or ABPA to IPA has increased. Suggestive clinical and radiological findings, supplemented with mycological data using serology and molecular biology, have enhanced the capacity to diagnose IPA in paediatric patients.
