The invasive and saprophytic syndromes due to Aspergillus spp

Med Mycol. 2005 May:43 Suppl 1:S207-38. doi: 10.1080/13693780400025179.

Abstract

Aspergillus spp. produce a wide range of invasive and sapropytic syndromes which may involve any tissue. Within a given tissue or organ the pathology and pathogenesis varies enormously, ranging from angioinvasive disease to noninvasive saprophytic disease. The individual invasive and saprophytic syndromes in which a causative role can be attributed to Aspergillus spp. are detailed specifically with reference to the underlying pathology and pathogenesis, the clinical setting and features, and the manner in which a diagnosis can be established.
