Abstract: Burn patients are at high risk for invasive fungal infections. The incidence of invasive fungal infection for burn victims is increasing dramatically during recent years and becoming one of the major causes of death in patients with severe burns. This updated guideline was initiated and organized by Burn Medicine Branch of China International Exchange and Promotion Association for Medical and Healthcare, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Burns and Wounds. Based on the current evidence-based medical evidence, clinical practice, and authoritative guidelines from other disciplines, we updated and revised the Guidelines for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of invasive fungal infections post burn injury (2012 edition), aiming to further standardize the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of invasive fungal infection post burns.
