The Fungal and Bacterial Interface in the Respiratory Mycobiome with a Focus on Aspergillus spp.
Life, 2023 The heterogeneity of the lung microbiome and its alteration are prevalently seen among chronic lung diseases patients. However, studies to date have primarily focused on the bacterial microbiome in the lung rather than fungal composition, which might ...

Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2021 Fungal lung disease in the paediatric population occurs with distinct features in the immunocompetent, in immunocompromised patients and in people with cystic fibrosis. Pulmonary mycoses are the least prevalent in immunocompetent children, with the most common diseases being the endemic mycoses and Aspergillomas.

Management of fungal lung disease in the immunocompromised [PDF]
Therapeutic Advances in Respiratory Disease, 2011 Pulmonary mycoses are among the most feared infections encountered in immunocompromised patients. The problem is amplified by the increasing numbers of chronically immunocompromised patients that have substantially increased both the prevalence and clinical severity of infections caused by fungi.
