Post-transplant Colonization With Non-Aspergillus Molds and Risk of Development of Invasive Fungal Disease in Lung Transplant Recipients

Isolation of non-Aspergillus molds in the BAL of LTx recipients may not be associated with the development of invasive disease, irrespective of anti-fungal prophylaxis. These results suggest that initiation of targeted anti-fungal prophylaxis after isolation of non-Aspergillus molds from BAL may not be warranted.
