DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2021.779981
Abstract: Disseminated mucormycosis, a serious complication, is associated with high mortality in patients with acute leukemia after chemotherapy. Blood cultures are always negative because of recurrent empirical antifungal treatments. The identification of pathogens is important for… read more here.
