Abstract
Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) has dire consequences in hemato-oncological patients. We report our experience with performing routine baseline chest computed tomography for early diagnosis of IPA. We found high rates of proven or probable IPA diagnosed on admission among patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia.
