Epidemiology of invasive fungal disease in haematologic patients

Mycoses, 2020
AbstractInvasive fungal disease (IFD) is frequent in patients with haematologic malignancies and in recipients of haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). An epidemiologic study conducted in Brazil reported a high incidence of IFD in haematologic patients, and invasive fusariosis was the leading IFD.

Immunotherapy of Invasive Fungal Disease

2017
Despite the availability of new antifungal compounds, morbidity and mortality of invasive fungal disease are still unacceptably high, in particular in immunocompromised patients such as patients with hematological malignancies, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell, solid organ transplant recipients, or advanced HIV infection.

Challenges in Invasive Fungal Disease

2019
The term invasive fungal disease (IFD) incorporates severe systemic or deep-seated infections due to fungi. A rise in the prevalence of IFD has been observed in recent years, primarily due to the rising numbers of susceptible host population, increasing invasive therapeutic interventions and immunosuppressive treatments.
