title: Update on invasive mycoses by filamentous fungi in critically ill patients.
abstract: The present article is an update of the literature on invasive fungal infections caused by filamentous fungi in critically ill patients. A multidisciplinary group of Spanish physicians with an interest in these infections organized a joint session and selected the most important papers produced lately in the field. Each article was analyzed and discussed by one of the members of the panel. Studies from the fields of causative microorganisms, epidemiology, and diagnosis are discussed; including the assessment of different strategies for the early identification and treatment of patients at risk of fungal infections by filamentous fungi in the intensive care unit setting.
