Activity Description

Aspergilloma and chronic cavitary pulmonary aspergillosis (CCPA) are two forms of Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis (CPA). These conditions, arising from the inhalation of Aspergillus spores, present overlapping clinical features and complexities in diagnosis and management. This course aims to equip clinicians with a comprehensive understanding of the epidemiology, history, diagnostic criteria, and evolving management approaches for aspergilloma and CCPA within the broader context of CPA. Participants will delve into the global prevalence of these conditions, emphasizing the higher incidence in regions with elevated rates of tuberculosis (TB). The discussion covers the predisposing factors, including bronchiectasis, emphysema, sarcoidosis, lung abscess, and lung cancer. Diagnosis and management criteria, which have evolved over the past decade, will be thoroughly explored, providing clinicians with up-to-date knowledge and tools to enhance patient care. This interprofessional learning experience emphasizes the collaborative roles of infectious disease clinicians, pulmonologists, radiologists, and surgeons in optimizing patient care for individuals with aspergilloma and CCPA. By participating in this course, learners will deepen their understanding of these complex conditions and improve their competence through an interdisciplinary approach, leading to enhanced patient outcomes.
