title: [Forensic autopsy and fungi].
abstract: Fungal infestations normally represent additional findings in forensic autopsies, but also may appear as a cause of death. Moreover different kinds of fungi occur during late postmortem decay. In this paper, particular emphasis is put on the context of immunodeficiency and finally, lethal septic states.
