Latin American Aspergillus fumigatus Azole Resistance Survey in 12 countries

The fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus is the leading cause of invasive mold infections, which have high mortality rates. Although most patients who develop aspergillosis are immunocompromised, increasing evidence suggests that people with chronic lung disease and severe respiratory viral infections are also at risk of this deadly infection, which are typically acquired by breathing in fungal spores. We aim to determinate de antifungal resistance rate.
