An Update on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Invasive Mold Disease of the Central Nervous System in Children

Research output: Contribution to journalReview articlepeer-review

Abstract

Epidemiological data of CNS IMD in pediatrics are limited. Aspergillus is the most frequently identified species, followed by other rare molds. Prompt diagnosis is of importance to define the optimal therapeutic management with respect to antifungal agent, dose, and evaluation of surgical intervention. The mortality rate of CNS IMD remains high. In this mini review we summarize the current knowledge on diagnosis and treatment of CNS IMD in pediatrics.
