Abstract

It is important to realize that guidelines cannot always account for individual variation among patients. They are not intended to supplant physician judgment with respect to particular patients or special clinical situations. IDSA considers adherence to these guidelines to be voluntary, with the ultimate determination regarding their application to be made by the physician in the light of each patient's individual circumstances.

Keywords: allergic aspergillosis; amphotericin; aspergillosis; azoles; chronic aspergillosis; echniocandins; fungal diagnostics; invasive aspergillosis.
