Prevalence of bronchopulmonary mycosis (BPM) has dramatically increased during last decades due to increase of the number of patients’ with congen-ital and acquired immunodeficiencies or damages of broncs and lungs’ architectonics resulted from non-mycotic bronchopulmonary diseases, as well as significant improvements in diagnostics. Aim. To pres-ent latest data on BPM prevalence and clinical char-acteristics, and their diagnosis algorithms. Materials and methods. Data from 62 researches, reviews and clinical recommendations in Russian and International resources on BPM, are presented and analyzed. Results. Prevalence of BPM clinical forms (allergic, chronic, and invasive mycoses) associated with different diseases are discussed. Modern diagnostic algorithms of of dif-ferent BPM clinical forms are presented according to the latest clinical recommendations of international professional societies. Typical X-ray images and cases’ description of BPM clinical forms are used as illustra-tions. Conclusion. BPM diagnostic algorithms and evi-dence value-based diagnosis formulation presented in international recommendations are significant input in standardization of approaches to BPM diagnosis and eventually to its efficiency.
