ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To assess the diagnosis and treatment of invasive lung aspergillosis after liver transplantation.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Routine sputum culture was performed. Itraconazole and fluconazole were used to prevent fungal infection prophylactically. Amphyotericin B was only used on aspergillosis. In 54 patients receiving, liver transplantation, 3 patients with lung aspergillosis were reviewed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Of the 3 patients 2 died and 1 recovered.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Over-immunosuppression is a main risk factor for aspergillosis. Amphotericin B is still the best choice for the treatment of aspergillosis and its gradual, interrupted, low concentration administration, cooperated with itraconazole can ease the side effects.</p>
