This study explores the epidemiology, outcomes and predictors of mortality of invasive aspergillosis (IA) at a high-volume pediatric center for immunocompromised hosts. Much of our understanding of pediatric IA is extrapolated from the adult literature. Our study found that IA is associated with a high 12-week all-cause mortality rate, with a particular impact on the hematopoietic cell transplantation study cohort.
