Management of Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis in Intensive Care Units: Guidelines From the Fungal Infection Network of Switzerland (FUNGINOS).

ABSTRACT: Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is increasingly recognised in intensive care units (ICU) affecting not only patients with classical immunosuppressive conditions but also other severely ill patients, including those with respiratory viral infections (influenza, COVID-19), advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or acute and chronic liver diseases. Several expert panels have proposed definitions of IPA in different ICU settings. However, practical recommendations for its diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are scarce. Moreover, these approaches can be influenced by different parameters that may vary across countries including the case mix of ICU patients, the incidence of IPA, the prevalence of azole resistance and the availability of diagnostic tests and antifungal drugs.
