In the United States in 1996, there were an estimated 10, 190 aspergillosis-related hospitalizations (95% confidence interval CI, 9000-11, 380) ; these resulted in 1970 deaths (95% CI, 1659-2280), 176, 272 hospital days (95% CI, 147, 163-206, 275), and 633. 1 million in costs (95% CI, 492. 0-780. 2 million). The average hospitalization lasted 17. 3 days (95% CI, 16. 1-18. 6) and cost 62, 426 (95% CI, 52, 670-72, 181). Although aspergillosis-related hospitalizations account for a small percentage of hospitalizations in the United States, patients hospitalized with the condition have lengthy hospital stays and high mortality rates.
