The largest study of invasive aspergillosis so far, with 13 HIV-infected patients, documents the diagnostic difficulties, as positive diagnosis mostly required bronchoalveolar lavage or transthoracic aspiration of pulmonary lesions. The cases of AIDS patients with invasive aspergillosis described in the literature therefore had neutropenia related to zidovudine or to ganciclovir therapy, increased exposure to aspergillus by marijuana smoking, underlying pulmonary disease, or corticosteroid use as predisposing factors. It also indicates the possibility of increasing confrontation with disseminated fungal infections like invasive aspergillosis as secondary neutropenia due to drugs such as zidovudine and ganciclovir becomes more common.
