About

Invasive filamentous fungal infections (aspergillosis, scedosporiosis, mucormycosis, fusarium wilt) are common and serious in immunocompromised subjects and particularly organ transplant patients. There is little recent data in heart transplantation, particularly on the incidence and risk factors of fungal infections. . It is therefore important to have recent data on incidence, risk and prognostic factors in order to improve the management of this severe complication.
