Which is the drug of choice for aspergillus infections?

Fluconazole
Itraconazole
Voriconazole
Posaconazole

The correct answer is: Voriconazole

Aspergillus infections are a type of fungal infection caused by the Aspergillus species of fungi. According to current medical guidelines, the drug of choice for treating these infections is the antifungal medication voriconazole. Fluconazole and itraconazole are also antifungal medications, but they are not considered as effective against Aspergillus infections as voriconazole. Posaconazole is also an antifungal medication, but it is generally reserved for more severe cases or for patients who do not respond to voriconazole treatment. Therefore, C is the best choice for treating aspergillus infections.
