Meta-analysis of antifungal resistance patterns of Aspergillus species in Iran
Our findings highlight the need for antifungal resistance surveillance in Iran. Treatment decisions should consider resistance patterns, host factors, and drug pharmacokinetics. We recommend establishing antifungal stewardship programs to develop evidence-based guidelines. Based on our findings, we suggest posaconazole or voriconazole for A. fumigatus and A. flavus, amphotericin B as alternative therapy, and caspofungin as salvage therapy.
