Knowledge Mapping of Aspergillus-Related Research in Respiratory Medicine: A Bibliometric Analysis Based on English-Language Articles Spanning 1975 to 2022

Abstract

Conclusions: The bibliometric results indicated the current hot research hotspots of Aspergillus were as follows: (1) research directly related to Aspergillus (epidemiology, risk factors, early diagnosis methods, and methods of novel antifungal treatment, e.g., galactomannan); (2) studying coinfections of Aspergillus with other pathogens: For example, COVID-19 could focus on studying the immune status of patients with COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) to guide individualized immunotherapy and individualized management of patients with CAPA.
