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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Invasive fungal infections in hemato-oncology
Indian Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2023Patients with hematologic malignancies (HM) carries a significant risk of developing invasive fungal infection (IFI) and are associated with a high risk of attributable morbidity and mortality.This review has highlighted the importance of diagnosis and management of invasive fungal infections in highly immunocompromised Hemato-Oncology patients.IFI ...

Upon completion of the chapter, the reader will be able to: 1. Differentiate epidemiologic differences and host risk factors for acquisition of primary and opportunistic invasive fungal diseases. 2. Recommend appropriate empiric or targeted antifungal therapy for the treatment of invasive fungal disease. 3.

• Serologic tests are useful in providing a presumptive diagnosis of invasive fungal infection, allowing early institution of specific therapy. The judicious use of these serologic tests for circulating antibodies or antigens also may aid in analyzing response to treatment and in assessing prognosis.
