Investigations of an increased incidence of non-Aspergillus invasive mould infections in an onco-haematology unit

CONCLUSIONS: We report a significant increase in non-Aspergillus mould infections, and mainly in mucormycosis infections, since 2017. There seems to be a multifactorial origin to this increase. Epidemiological trends of invasive mould infections should be carefully monitored in onco-haematology units in order to implement potential corrective measures.PMID:38579310 | DOI:10.57187/s.3730
