Purpose The role of C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) for diagnosing chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) remains unknown. Herein, we investigate the diagnostic performance of serum ESR and CRP in CPA. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the data of treatment-naïve s...
