摘要
Invasive fungal infections have emerged as important causes of hospital related morbidity and mortality. They are increasingly seen in patients not previously considered at risk, e.g. patients on an intensive care unit. Candida albicans and Aspergillus spp. are the most common pathogens, posing challenges in epidemiology, control and treatment.
