Objective To investigate the risk factors，clinical features and outcome of invasive aspergillosis（IA） in nonneutropenic patients.Methods Fifty-four patients with IA at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from Jan 2001 to Dec 2006 were analyzed retrospectively.According to the definitions of EORTC/MSG，proven diagnosis was made in 9 cases，probable diagnosis in 30 cases and possible diagnosis in 15 cases.Results In the neutropenic group（n=24），hematological malignancies were the major underlying conditions（n=20）.In nonneutropenic group（n=30），the main underlying condition was steroid-treated COPD（n=11）.Fever，dyspnea，cough，chest pain and haemoptysis were commonly symptoms.Thoracic computed tomography showed that segmental consolidation occurred more frequently in neutropenic patients，whereas diffuse nodules more frequently in nonneutropenic patients.Nodules or consolidation with evidence of cavity lesion had a higher sensitivity than the halo sign or air crescent sign in both groups.The total mortality of IA was 72.2%.The mortality of nonneutropenic group was higher than that of neutropenic group（83.3% vs 58.3%，P=0.042）.Multivariate analysis showed that secondary central nerves system IA and delayed diagnosis were associated with poor outcome of IA.Conclusion There were high incidence and mortality of IA among nonneutropenic patients，especially those with COPD treated with long-term corticosteroids.
