RESUMO
In recent years, invasive fungal infection has become a growing problem in immunosuppressed patients. Simultaneously, changes in medical practice, such as the use of anti-Candida prophylaxis with azoles, has led to a shift in the epidemiology of these infections from Candida spp. to Aspergillus and other filamentous molds. Moreover, new risk factors for invasive fungal infection have been identified and the time of onset is different from that seen a decade ago. Recognition of these trends in patients receiving novel immunosuppressive regimens has important implications for the clinical management of fungal infection in this population.
