Abstract
Invasive fungal infections are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. The primary and most frequent pathogens in Europe are Aspergillus and Candida species. However, other representatives such as Mucorales, Trichosporon, and Fusarium species are increasingly being identified. Confirming the diagnosis of an invasive mycosis is challenging; apart from imaging and clinical presentation, essential diagnostic elements include conventional fungal culture, microscopy, antibody/antigen detection tests, and molecular biology.
