Mechanistic Basis of Super-Infection: Influenza-Associated Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis

Influenza infection is a risk factor for invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised hosts. The purpose of this review is to highlight the epidemiology of influenza-associated invasive pulmonary aspergillosis and the mechanistic studies that have been performed to...

The purpose of this review is to highlight the epidemiology of influenza-associated invasive pulmonary aspergillosis and the mechanistic studies that have been performed to delineate how influenza increases susceptibility to this invasive fungal infection.
