摘要: PURPOSEThe prognosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) occurring in neutropenic patients remains poor. We studied whether new strategies for early diagnosis could improve outcome these patients.PATIENTS AND METHODSTwenty-three histologically proven and 14 highly probable IPAs 37 hematologic (neutropenic 36) were analyzed retrospectively.RESULTSThe most frequent clinical signs associated with IPA cough (92%), chest pain (76%), hemoptysis (54%). Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was positive 22 32 cases. Aspergillus antigen test 83% cases when tested on BAL fluid. Since October 1991, thoracic computed tomographic (CT) scans systematically performed febrile x-ray infiltrates. This approach allowed us to recognize suggestive CT halo 92% patients, compared 13% before this date, the mean time reduced dramatically from 7 1.9 days. Among 36 assessable 10 f...
