Abstract

Invasive fungal infections have increased progressively in the last decades, producing elevated morbidity and mortality. In recent years, there have been numerous advances in the treatment of these diseases, with the introduction of new drugs in clinical practice and the information derived from several types of studies. This has improved the prognosis of some invasive fungal infections and increased the therapeutic options in various clinical situations. This new knowledge must be assessed to determine its application in clinical practice, taking into account available scientific evidence and clinical experience. With this aim, the Andalusian Society of Infectious Diseases has developed this consensus document containing recommendations for the treatment of the invasive fungal infections.
