Abstract:
The morbidity of fungal infections increased year by year.Notably, the invasive fungal diseases (IFDs) in children lead to a high mortality.It is important to make the diagnosis of IFDs in early stage, thus reducing the mortality.The diagnosis of fungal infection is based on three factors, including host factors, clinical evidences (such as imaging findings) and the evidence of fungal etiology.This review described the progress in the diagnosis of IFDs in children, thus improving the ability of physicians to diagnose the fungal infection.
