Purpose: Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is a life-threatening opportunistic infection in immunocompromised patients. The diagnosis is often made late, with mortality reaching 90% when mechanical ventilation is needed. We sought to develop and validate a risk prediction model for the diagnosis of IPA.

Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a fungal infection, which has traditionally been associated with neutropenia and immunosuppressive therapies. Our understanding of invasive aspergillosis has been evolving and, in the past few decades, IA among ICU patients has been recognized as a common infection and has become more widely recognized. The diagnosis and management of invasive aspergillosis in the ICU is particularly challenging, due to the unstable clinical condition of the patients, lack of diagnostic markers, increased risk of further clinical deterioration, multiple comorbidities, and a need for early assessment and treatment.

() is a filamentous fungus that causes invasive aspergillosis in immunocompromised individuals. Regulating fungal growth is crucial for preventing disease development. This study found that deleting the guanine nucleotide exchange factor gene led to slower growth and reduced the fungal burden and mortality of infected mice.

Introduction: Invasive fungal disease (IFD) is a morbid superinfection that can arise in critically ill patients with COVID-19 infection. Studies evaluating the full spectrum of COVID-19-associated fungal infections remain limited.
Methods: Single-center retrospective study assessing IFD in patients with COVID-19, hospitalized for ≥ 72 h in the intensive care unit (ICU) between 02/25/20 and 02/28/22 (n = 1410).

Chronic granulomatous disease is the inborn error of immunity with the highest frequency of invasive aspergillosis. In this context, invasive aspergillosis is frequent in adolescence, with rare cases before one year of age. We present a case of chronic granulomatous disease and invasive aspergillosis in a four-month-old infant.
