Key Points

The aim is to address the critical need for new treatments for cerebral aspergillosis due to current limitations.
Using neuroimaging and stereotactic brain biopsy for early diagnosis.
Employing galactomannan tests in serum and cerebrospinal fluid for improved detection.
Implementing whole genome sequencing and detection of cell free nucleic acid for better diagnostics.
Conducting surgical debridement to enhance antifungal efficacy.
Monitoring therapeutic drug levels of azoles for improved outcomes.
Current treatments like voriconazole, posaconazole, and isavuconazole are recommended.
Higher doses of azoles guided by monitoring may improve treatment results.
Olorofim and fosmanogepix show promise as future therapeutic options.
