From bed to bench and back in viral-associated pulmonary aspergillosis: generation of pathophysiological insight and translation into host-based biomarkers KU Leuven
Influenza- and COVID-19 associated pulmonary aspergillosis (IAPA/CAPA) are fungal superinfections in critically ill patients with influenza or COVID-19 pneumonia. These infections are both hard to diagnose and hard to treat, resulting in high morbidity and mortality in affected patients. Currently, pathophysiological insights are scarce, and no host-based biomarkers for viral-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (VAPA) patients are available in ...
