CT-guided biopsies in lung infections in patients with haematological malignancies

Abstract CT-guided transparietal lung biopsy in imaging makes it possible to find the pathogenic agent in half of all fungal infections and most bacterial infections (sensitivity = 55%, specificity = 100%). Performance is decreased in consolidations (50% of infections) compared to masses. Complications, pneumothorax, alveolar bleeding and hemoptysis are generally benign and rarely (
