Invasive Fungal Infections at Presentation of Untreated Hematologic Malignancies: Rare and Elusive

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) are a feared complication of hematologic malignancy (HM) treatment. Infrequently, the diagnosis of a new IFI contemporaneously with a new untreated HM has been sporadically described in case reports. We performed a comprehensive search of published literature and reviewed cases describing this synchronous disease phenomenon.
