- Abstract
These limitations of variations in early classification and CAPA overestimation where recently overcome by the more conservative 2020 ECMM/ISHAM CAPA consensus definitions. We thank Rouze et al. for the thoughtful remarks [[1]] on our multinational study on pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) associated to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) [[2]]. Importantly our data reflect a real-life scenario with no predefined CAPA screening or fungal diagnostics strategies and despite enrolling prospectively, not all centers had CAPA and non-CAPA patients reported for the entire study period.
