Overall survival and fungal infection-related mortality in patients with invasive fungal infection and neutropenia after myelosuppressive chemotherapy in a tertiary care centre from 1995 to 2006

摘要

Objectives Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) contribute significantly to mortality and morbidity in patients receiving myelosuppressive chemotherapy for haematological malignancies. The present study investigates the overall survival (OS), infection-related mortality and changes in treatment of IFIs in our department from 1995 until 2006.
