High Prevalence of Azole‐Resistant <i>Aspergillus fumigatus</i> Among Iranian Cystic Fibrosis Patients: Should We Be Concerned?
This study first investigated ARAf isolates in Iranian CF patients. Due to a resistance rate of up to 9%, it is recommended that susceptibility testing of Aspergillus isolates from CF patients receiving antifungal treatment be a part of the routine diagnostic workup. However, extensive multicentre studies with a high volume of CF patients are highly warranted to determine the impact of ARAf on CF patients.
