Pathogenesis of invasive fungal infections
Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2013Invasive fungal infection (IFI) is increasingly being recognized as a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in immunosuppressed patients. This review focuses on the latest literature reports concerning the pathogenesis of IFI in this population.New virulence factors of Candida and Aspergillus have recently been identified.

Immunodiagnosis of invasive fungal infection
Medical Mycology, 1992Overview Invasive fungal infections are an important cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in immunocompromised patients. The prognosis of these infections is poor unless they are diagnosed and treated promptly. Clinically, there is usually nothing specific to indicate a fungal infection and diagnosis depends on a combination of ...

The Challenge of Invasive Fungal Infection
Chemotherapy, 1999Systemic fungal infections cause almost 25% of the infection-related deaths in leukaemic patients. Particularly those with prolonged neutropenia are at risk but mycoses also feature in critically ill intensive care patients and in individuals who are treated for solid tumours and AIDS, or who received an organ transplant.

Invasive Fungal Infections in the ICU
Journal of Intensive Care Medicine, 2009Invasive fungal infections are major causes of morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. Foremost among these is invasive candidiasis. In recent years, invasive aspergillosis (IA) and zygomycosis have emerged as major problems in susceptible, critically ill patients.

Overview of Invasive Fungal Infections
2012The incidence of invasive fungal infections (IFIs) has seen a marked increase in the last two decades. This is especially evident among transplant recipients, patients suffering from AIDS, in addition to those in receipt of immunosuppressive therapy.

Clinical Experience in Invasive Fungal Infections
Clinical Drug Investigation, 2013Lung infections caused by invasive filamentous fungi are very rare conditions in AIDS, but must be considered in patients with profound immune suppression especially in the presence of additional risk factors, such as hematologic malignancies, corticosteroid therapy, neutropenia, and chemotherapy. The authors report a case of dual lung infection caused

Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) are being increasingly recognized as a major threat in critically ill adult and paediatric patients. They can range widely in severity and can be life threatening in some patients. Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common causes of IFIs, but other yeasts and filamentous fungi are emerging pathogens.
