Usefulness of serum galactomannan in initiating and modifying antifungal therapy in children with cancer and persistent high-risk febrile neutropenia.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The infections caused by fungi represent a global concern and an important cause of hospital admissions in endemic areas. The influence of socio-environmental factors in infectious diseases has been documented; however, this phenomenon remains unclear regarding mycoses. OBJECTIVES:This study aimed to analys...
