  • Title: Diagnostic Imaging and Invasive Fungal Diseases in Children.
    Author: Katragkou A, Fisher BT, Groll AH, Roilides E, Walsh TJ.
    Journal: J Pediatric Infect Dis Soc; 2017 Sep 01; 6(suppl_1):S22-S31. PubMed ID: 28927203.
    Abstract:
    Invasive fungal disease (IFD) is a life-threatening condition, especially in immunocompromised children. The role of diagnostic imaging in children at risk for an IFD is multifactorial, including initially detecting it, evaluating for dissemination of infection beyond the primary site of disease, monitoring the response to antifungal therapy, and assessing for potential relapse. The objective of this review was to synthesize the published literature relevant to the use of various imaging modalities for the diagnosis and management of IFD in children.
