Fungal Infections, Clinical Profile, Immunocompromised Patients, Characterisation, Molecular Study, CandidaAbstract
Background: In immunocompromised patients, there are advances in medical care leading to significant increase in Invasive Fungal Infections (IFIs). Fungal species are approximately 7 percent (6,11,000 species) and they are distributed in soil, plant debris and other organic substrates. Only 600 species are human pathogens
