About

 

Invasive aspergillosis is among the most common fungal infection in immunocompromised hosts and carries a poor outcome. The spores of Aspergillus fumigatus are everywhere in the environment. Healthy hosts don’t develop the disease, but individuals with impaired immunity are susceptible to a life-threatening respiratory infection. A better understanding of the components of host defense may lead to the development of new treatments against this infection.
