Aspergillus Serology Predicts Relapse in Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis: Implications for Personalised Follow‐Up Strategies [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction Relapses occur in up to 40% of patients after prolonged courses of antifungal treatment for chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA). The factors predisposing to relapse remain poorly defined. Methods We conducted a retrospective study of adults treated for ≥ 6 months with oral azoles for CPA.
