A comprehensive review analyzing fungal lung diseases. It details the relationship between different states of host immunity (mild/severe immune suppression, competence, and overactivity) and specific fungal manifestations (e.g., CPA, IPA, ABPA/ABPM). The article covers various diagnostic methods, including culture, immune-based, antigen-based, and molecular approaches, and discusses contemporary treatment options such as novel oral and inhaled antifungals, immunomodulators, and surgical interventions.
