Clinico-immunological features of invasive aspergillosis in patients with Hodgkin’s disease

Invasive aspergillosis is a serious mycotic infection with high mortality that mostly occurs in patients with hematological malignancies and severe immunodeficiency. Immunological defects in the various groups of hematological patients with invasive aspergillosis are not well understood. We are the first to present the results of studying clinico-immunological features of invasive aspergillosis in the patients with Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
