The first patient with STAT3 deficiency presented several flares of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis-like episodes. He was chronically infected with two azole-resistant <jats:italic>A. fumigatus<\/jats:italic> isolates (TR<jats:sub>34<\/jats:sub>\/L98). Despite prolonged antifungal treatment, including caspofungin and amphotericin B, the patient was not able to clear the azole-resistant <jats:italic>A. fumigatus<\/jats:italic>. The second patient had chronic cavitary pulmonary aspergillosis (CCPA). The <jats:italic>A. fumigatus<\/jats:italic> isolate was initially azole susceptible but harboured three F46Y, M172V and E427K point mutations. Despite prolonged antifungal therapies, lesions worsened and the isolate became resistant to all azoles. Surgery and caspofungin treatments were then required to cure CCPA. Resistance was probably acquired from the environment (TR<jats:sub>34<\/jats:sub>\/L98) in the first case whereas resistance developed under antifungal treatments in the second case. These infections required long-term antifungal treatments and surgery.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Conclusions.<\/jats:bold> The emergence of azole-resistant <jats:italic>A. fumigatus<\/jats:italic> infections in STAT3-deficiency dramatically impacts both curative and prophylactic antifungal strategies. Physicians following patients with primary immune-deficiencies should be aware of this emerging problem as it complicates management of the patient.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1099\/jmm.0.001200","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,27]],"date-time":"2020-05-27T21:14:19Z","timestamp":1590614059000},"page":"844-849","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Emergence of azole resistant-Aspergillus fumigatus infections during STAT3-deficiency"],"prefix":"10.1099","volume":"69","author":[{"given":"Fran\u00e7ois","family":"Danion","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Present address: Unite de Neuropathologie exp\u00e9rimentale, Institut Pasteur, Paris, France"},{"name":"Aspergillus Unit, Institut Pasteur, Paris, France"},{"name":"Universit\u00e9 de Paris, Centre d\u2019Infectiologie Necker Pasteur, IHU Imagine, H\u00f4pital Universitaire Necker-Enfants Malades, Assistance Publique -
