Article Title: | Antifungal prophylaxis |
Abstract: | As the incidence of invasive fungal infection rises in frequency, and as our knowledge base of patients at risk becomes better defined, the need for and the ability to develop agents and modalities for antifungal prophylaxis also increases. Recent advances in fungal prevention are reviewed and examined and recommendations for future areas of study are discussed. |
