Aspergillus is a common superinfection in critically ill influenza patients associated with poor outcome and longer duration of organ supportive therapies. Since no data on IAA was available from Switzerland, we retrospectively analysed all patients with severe influenza infection needing treatment in two large Swiss ICUs during the 2017/2018 influenza season with regard to predictors of IAA, mortality and poor outcome. In this retrospective cohort study, sixteen ICUs of tertiary hospitals in Switzerland were asked if they had observed cases of IAA and severe influenza and routinely looked for IAA based on clinical suspicion with galactomannan and fungal cultures in BAL; only two of them met the criteria (Cantonal Hospital of St. Gallen and University Hospital of Geneva). IAA is a severe and relatively frequent complication affecting 11% of patients with influenza treated in two Swiss ICUs. Aspergillus represented the most frequent respiratory co-infection of influenza in this cohort.	./cache/cord-025861-nsrs6dmc.txt	./txt/cord-025861-nsrs6dmc.txt
