| Cohort | This retrospective case–control study was performed from May 2017 to November 2020 and involved two hematology centers in Hungary: the University of Debrecen, Faculty of Medicine, Institute of Internal Medicine, Debrecen, Hungary; and the Institute of András Jósa County and Teaching Hospital, Division of Hematology, Nyíregyháza, Hungary. The patient population comprised 26 adults: 16 males, with a median age of 63 (range 33–71) years, and 10 females, with a median age of 40 (range 25–52) years, with different hematological malignancies (mainly acute leukemia: 73.08%) receiving stem cell transplantation and intensive chemotherapy (neutrophil count < 0.5 × 109 cells/L). |

| Disease Introduction Mechanism | Underscoring the burden of invasive aspergillosis (IA), a marked increase in disease prevalence was observed due to improved diagnostics, an overall escalation in the use of immunosuppressive therapies, and an increased number of organ transplantations performed in recent ¬ decades. IA remains a major issue among patients who have undergone either stem cell or solid organ transplantation, with a prevalence of over 10%. |
