title: Unusual infections and novel therapy in the immunocompromised host.
abstract: Many of the reports of infection in immunocompromised patients over the past year have been caused by unusual bacterial pathogens or fungi, which are often multiresistant and difficult to treat. Although many difficulties still remain some progress has been made over the past year in the development of new antimicrobial agents and alternative therapies.
