Abstract:

Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a serious opportunistic infection that mainly been found in individuals with a compromised immune system. As Aspergillus species worldwide and the increasing number of immunocompromised hosts, IA brings a heavy burden to our country. In addition, early diagnosis is difficult and effective treatments are lacking, which leaded to the high mortality of IA (39%~100%). Currently, further nationwide epidemiological research of IA is needed in China.

Key words: aspergillosis, epidemiology, China
