Abstract
The morbidity and mortality associated with opportunistic fungal infections is continually rising which has been attributed to an increase of at-risk patients. Risk factors include recent surgery, broadspectrum antibacterial therapy, corticosteroid or cytotoxic drug therapy, compromised physical barriers and underlying diseases such as diabetes mellitus, renal failure or neoplasia.
