Treatment
The objective of therapy for patients with invasive aspergillosis is to control the infection with antifungal medications, such as amphotericin B, and to reverse any correctable immunosuppression. Hospitalization will probably be necessary. It is usually necessary to reduce or stop doses of any immunosuppressive drugs and begin treatment with granulocyte colony stimulating factor (GCSF) to resolve any low white blood cell count that may be present.
