TLDR
Treatment duration for aspergillosis is strongly recommended based on clinical improvement, degree of immunosuppression and response on imaging, and in refractory disease, where a personalized approach considering reversal of predisposing factors, switching drug class and surgical intervention is also strongly recommended.

Defining and managing COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis: the 2020 ECMM/ISHAM consensus criteria for research and clinical guidance.

TL;DR: It is proposed to be defined as possible, probable, or proven on the basis of sample validity and thus diagnostic certainty, and recommended first-line therapy is either voriconazole or isavuconazole, while azole resistance is a concern.

Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillosis in 2019

TL;DR: The emergence of new concepts, such as nutritional immunity and the integration and rewiring of multiple fungal metabolic activities occurring during lung invasion, has helped to redefine the opportunistic pathogenesis of A. fumigatus.
Journal ArticleDOI

COVID-19 associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA)—from immunology to treatment

TL;DR: The treatment of CAPA is complicated by drug–drug interactions associated with broad spectrum azoles, renal tropism and damage caused by SARS-CoV-2, which may challenge the use of liposomal amphotericin B, as well as the emergence of azole-resistance.

Review of influenza-associated pulmonary aspergillosis in ICU patients and proposal for a case definition: an expert opinion.

TL;DR: The IAPA case definitions may be useful to classify patients with COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA), while awaiting further studies that provide more insight into the interaction between Aspergillus and the SARS-CoV-2-infected lung.

Invasive Aspergillosis in solid-organ transplant recipients: Guidelines from the American Society of Transplantation Infectious Diseases Community of Practice

TL;DR: These updated AST‐IDCOP guidelines provide information on epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of Aspergillus after organ transplantation, and the role of combination antifungals for primary therapy of IA remains controversial.

Revised Definitions of Invasive Fungal Disease from the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer/Invasive Fungal Infections Cooperative Group and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Mycoses Study Group (EORTC/MSG) Consensus Group

TL;DR: These revised definitions of invasive fungal disease are intended to advance clinical and epidemiological research and may serve as a useful model for defining other infections in high-risk patients.

Aspergillosis case-fatality rate: systematic review of the literature.

TL;DR: Mortality is high despite improvements in diagnosis and despite the advent of newer formulations of amphotericin B, and underlying patient conditions and the site of infection remain important prognostic factors.
