Clinical characteristics of patients with positive fungal pathogens during acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A retrospective study
<i>Candida albicans</i> and <i>Aspergillus</i> are the common fungi isolated from patients with AECOPD. The clinical manifestations of AECOPD patients with fungal infection are nonspecific. AECOPD patients with positive fungal isolation who have undergone bronchoscopy and used antibiotics for a longer duration are more likely to have fungal infection.
