SIMIFF study: Italian fungal registry of mold infections in hematological and non-hematological patients
PURPOSE We compared the risk factors, the diagnostic tools and the outcome of filamentous fungal infections (FFIs) in hematological patients (HAEs) and non-hematological patients (non-HAEs).

The extended use of c...
