WHAT ARE FUNGAL INFECTIONS?

open access: yesMediterranean Journal of Hematology and Infectious Diseases, 2011
Yeasts and moulds now rank amongst the 10 most frequently isolated pathogens in febrile patients with an impaired immune system. Fungi are mainly opportunistic pathogens that only invade the body if a severely weakened natural defense permits them to do so. Most factors facilitating an invasive fungal infection are unavoidable because they are directly
