High prevalence of peribronchial focal lesions of airway invasive aspergillosis in haematological cancer patients with prolonged neutropenia.
CONCLUSIONS: Peribronchial focal lesions are a common finding in early-IPA whatever the GM value during neutropenia and our findings reinforce the efficiency of a preemptive approach.
ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE;: Peribronchial focal lesions, which are classically described in airway invasive aspergillosis, are a common finding in early-IPA in haematological cancer patients with prolonged neutropenia regardless of the GM value, and such peribronchial lesions should reinforce the possibility of IPA.
