| Summary: | Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) is a severe disease that develops mainly in patients without obvious immune disorders. Computed tomography is the main instrumental method in the diagnosis of CPA, which is necessary to determine the form of the disease, to choose treatment policy, to combat complications, and to monitor therapy. This makes it important for a radiologist to understand the main aspects of timely and differential diagnosis. There are insufficient Russian studies on this problem. This paper analyzes the 2014–2020 Russian and foreign publications available in PubMed, Web of Science, Elsevier, and eLibrary electronic databases. When searching for information, the following keywords were used: “computed tomography”, “chronic pulmonary aspergillosis”, “aspergilloma”, “air-crescent symptom”, “differential diagnosis”. |
