Abstract:
With the increasing number of people with immune deficiency in recent years, fungal infections become an important factor threatening human health.Likewise, the number of children who are immunosuppressed due to hematological diseases, malignancies, use of immunosuppressants and spectrum antibacterial drugs has increased, leading to a high mortality of fungal infections.Moreover, infections of the non-candida albicans and aspergillu are prevalent, serving as important causes for the death of critically ill children. Therefore, this review aims to introduce and summarize the epidemiological characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of pediatric invasive fungal infections, thus yielding the concern of pediatric invasive fungal infections, reducing the occurrence of pediatric fungal infections and improving the prognosis.
