Reviewer 1 Report
Thank you for giving the opportunity to review this article. I think the authors did a comprehensive review about the role of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis among immunocompetent patients. It provides updated information about this issue. Thus, I just had minor suggestion.

Reviewer 3 Report
The article represents a good work, it shows how important it is to establish that invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is not only acquired by immunosuppressed patients, but also by other external causes such as corticosteroids that ultimately cause immunosuppression due to treatment of other diseases. In this article it was observed that the number of words does not reach 4000, which is a requirement to be considered a reference article, therefore, I would suggest two alternatives, from which the authors could take 1
1. Expand the article by doing a systematic search and thus be considered a review article, or 2.
2. Leave the paper as a Perspective article
So I also suggest making some changes and corrections within the article.
L47 - spp. whitout italics.
L51 - spp. whitout italics.
L52-L54. It is important to make reference to these three conditions in the abstract in order to obtain a better understanding of what the article is about in context.
L69, L70, L78, L89 - spp. whitout italics.
L109 - I suggest improving the quality of organization of the figure 1.
L162, L163, L179, L187, L189, L192- spp. whitout italics.
L199 - remove excess space.
L200 and L208 - Place period after et al.
L215 - remove excess space
Table 1. The font style and size of this box must be the same as that of the text.
