We conducted round table discussions involving French experts from pediatric and adult centers caring for patients with CF, microbiologists, radiologists and pharmacists. The aim was to explore the current state of knowledge on: the pathophysiological mechanisms of Aspergillus and other micromycetes infections in CF (such as Scedosporium sp.

Introduction: Pulmonary aspergillosis is the main respiratory fungal infection however; its diagnosis is missed or delayed in critically ill non-neutropenic patients. Despite the utility of fiberoptic bronchoscopy for the evaluation of tracheobronchial aspergillosis (TBA) in immunocompromised patients has been extensively studied, however its utility in critically ill non-neutropenic patients is underestimated.
Objectives: To assess the bronchoscopic changes suspected TBA relative to the microbiological and histopathological aspects in critically ill non-neutropenic patients admitted to respiratory intensive care unit (RICU).
