Abstract: Objective To understand the epidemiology of aspergillosis and the status of diagnosis and treatment in mainland China.Methods Literatures from January 1991 to October 2009 were collected by CNKI and Pubmed and statistically analyzed.Results A total of 1 447 cases were included in our study,in which 481 cases had microbiological evidences of aspergillus,258 cases did species identification with 153 strains of A.fumigatus.Pulmonary infection was presented in 1 047 cases.Etiological diagonosis depended on direct microspcopy and culture,while species identification relied on morphology except 4 cases with identification of molecular biology.G-test and GM-test were performed in few cases and in vitro susceptibility test was fewer.Only 2 strains of A.flavus were resistant to AMB and 2 strains of A.fumigatus were resistant to multidrugs.Itraconazole pretended to be the first choice for invasive aspergillosis.Corticosteroid alone or combined with itraconazole was applied to allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis.Surgical excision was recommended for chronic,saprophytic,nasal and paranasal sinus aspergillosis.Conclusions Trend of aspergillosis in mainland China was in concordance with the world.Mobidity of non-fumigatus aspergillosis increased,especially pulmonary involvements.Morphological and molecular biological identification are important for accurate and prompt diagnosis.In vitro susceptibility test is helpful for clinical treatment.

Key words: aspergillosis, species identification, diagnosis, in vitro susceptibility
