Epidemiology of invasive respiratory disease caused by emerging non‐<i>Aspergillus</i> molds in lung transplant recipients

Abstract

In LTR undergoing n-LAB prophylaxis, pre- and post-transplantation isolation of non-Aspergillus molds is frequent, but IFI incidence (1.21%) is low. Purpureocillium is an emerging mold. AB-resistant non-Aspergillus species were found more often in bronchoscopy samples and were associated with a higher risk of infection.
