Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The majority of invasive fungal infections are still due to Candida species; but infections due to mycelial fungi other than Candida are becoming increasingly common such as aspergillus and mucor. This study considers the incidence of the emerging uncommon opportunistic fungal infections due to non-fumigates species of Mucormycosis and will help us to develop a prevention strategy for such life-threatening disease.Timepoint: The mucor isolates will be evaluated at 1 month
