Хронический аспергиллез легких (ХАЛ) – тяжелое заболевание, развивающееся преимущественно у пациентов без выраженных нарушений иммунного статуса. Компьютерная томография является основным инструментальным методом диагностики ХАЛ, необходимым для определения формы заболевания, выбора тактики лечения, контроля осложнений и мониторинга терапии. Это обусловливает важность понимания рентгенологом основных аспектов своевременной и дифференциальной диагностики. Отечественных исследований по этой проблеме недостаточно. В данной работе проведен анализ российских и зарубежных публикаций за период 2014–2020 гг., представленных в электронных базах данных PubMed, Web of Science, Elsevier, eLibrary. При поиске информации использованы следующие ключевые слова: computed tomography, chronic pulmonary aspergillosis, aspergilloma, air-crescent symptom, differential diagnosis.

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”.
