Abstract

This collaborative article presents a review of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) from the perspective of a multidisciplinary team comprising of respiratory physicians, radiologists, mycologists, dietitians, pharmacists, physiotherapists and palliative care specialists. The review synthesises current knowledge on CPA, emphasising the intricate interplay between clinical, radiological, and microbiological aspects. We highlight the importance of assessing each patient as multidisciplinary team to ensure personalised treatment strategies and a holistic approach to patient care.
