[Aspergillus-related respiratory conditions and COPD: Diagnostic challenges].

CONCLUSION: The complexity of the diagnosis of pulmonary aspergillosis is related to its multiple types with sometimes unclear distinctions. Any type of pulmonary aspergillosis can be observed in patients with COPD, depending on associated risks factors. It would be helpful to establish specific classifications adapted to patients with COPD. This will require larger, prospective, multicentre studies.
