- Abstract
The best treatment for patients with invasive aspergillosis caused by cryptic Aspergillus species remains uncertain, mainly due to the limited clinical data that have been published so far. In face of this limitation, patients should be treated with standard first-line therapy for invasive aspergillosis, with therapy being modified according to in vitro susceptibility testing. In this review, we summarize the importance of cryptic Aspergillus species in modern medicine, including their prevalence, methods for detection and response to antifungal drugs.
