| Why carry out this study? |
| Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) patients are susceptible to invasive fungal infections. |
| We evaluated the prognosis and antifungal options in ACLF patients with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA). |
| What was learned from the study? |
| Presence of IPA increases the short-term mortality of ACLF patients mainly due to respiratory failure. |
| An optimal voriconazole regimen is needed for such critical patients. |
