INTRODUCTION Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis includes several disease manifestations, including aspergilloma, Aspergillus nodules, chronic cavitary pulmonary aspergillosis, and chronic fibrosing pulmonary aspergillosis. Subacute invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (formerly known as chronic necrotizing aspergillosis) is on the spectrum between chronic and acute forms of pulmonary aspergillosis (see 'Definitions' below). A duration of disease longer than three months distinguishes chronic pulmonary aspergillosis from acute and subacute pulmonary aspergillosis.
