Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is a serious opportunistic infection mainly affecting seriously immunocompromised patients. The major risk factor is prolonged granulocytopenia. Most literature on the epidemiology and clinical impact of Aspergillus spp. infections concern patients with hematological malignancies, cancer,...

Patient-reported outcomes among people living with HIV on single- versus multi-tablet regimens: Data from a real-life setting.

PloS one
