title: Present situation in the treatment of invasive fungal infection.
abstract: Recent advances have made it possible to treat successfully conditions that for many years were considered incurable. In many cases, aggressive therapeutic or diagnostic techniques have been used. One resulting adverse event is a severely diminished immune response that, given the patient's situation, demands accurate and rapid treatment. Invasive fungal infection is a clear example. This review evaluates different aspects of the management of these infections.
