Abstract excerpt

Background: Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) plays an important role in resistance to Aspergillus infections. Previous studies have suggested that PTX3 polymorphisms influence the risk of invasive aspergillosis among transplantation recipients. This study investigated the association between PTX3 gene polymorphisms and pulmonary aspergillosis in a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) population. Methods: We included...
