Abstract:
Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised children.The purpose of the review was to provide epidemiological,clinical aspects,diagnosis and antifungal treatment options in the pediatric population.Diagnosis of IA remains a challenge as the clinical and imaging manifestations are not specific,and a histological diagnosis is often unfeasible,and blood culture shows low sensitivity rates.In recent years,great progress has been made in the detection of fungal biomarkers,which is mainly described in this paper.
