Despite combined treatment with several groups of antifungal agents, conservative treatment of invasive aspergillosis often remains refractory. Pulmonary invasive aspergillosis is often treated by surgical resection of consolidated lobes or segments, donor granulocyte transfusions and allogeneic hematopoietic...
