title: Imported mycoses in Europe.
abstract: This article reviews the clinical manifestations, diagnosis and management of some of the more important systemic infections that are now being imported into Europe. It also considers the risks some of the causal organisms pose to European laboratory workers, many of whom are unfamiliar with the precautions that should be taken when handling these pathogens.
