Abstract

PURPOSE: Despite new antifungal agents mortality of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) in neutropenic patients remains high. Only few centres perform lung resection for IPA in this patient group. Most centres fear intra- and perioperative complications especially infections because of neutropenia and bleeding because of thrombopenia. We assessed the complication rate and possible prediction of outcome of lung resection for suspected IPA in a large number of hematologic patients.
