Healthcare Costs of Hospitalizations Due to Aspergillosis and 25-Year Trends in Spain, 1997-2021.

In the last 40 years, a significant increase in the incidence of lung infections by Aspergillus has been reported. The scarcity of studies that describe the costs of aspergillosis indicates that the economic impact of aspergillosis in the hospital environment is greater than that of other fungal infections. The objective of the study was to evaluate the direct healthcare costs associated with aspergillosis in the Spanish National Health System from 1997 to 2021.
