Invasive Mold Disease
Source: [@Donnell2020RevisionUpdate]
- Proven IFD can apply to any patient, regardless of whether the patient is immunocompromised
- Probable invasive fungal diseases (IFD) requires the presence of at least 1 host factor, a clinical feature and mycologic evidence and is proposed for immunocompromised patients only
- Cases that meet the criteria for a host factor and a clinical feature but for which mycological evidence has not been found are considered possible IFD
- (1,3)-beta-D glucan was not considered to provide mycological evidence of any invasive mold disease
