Comparing the Profile of Respiratory Fungal Pathogens amongst Immunocompetent and Immunocompromised Hosts, their Susceptibility Pattern and Correlation of Various Opportunistic Respiratory Fungal Infections and their Progression in Relation to the CD4+T-cell Counts

Introduction: Invasive fungal infections are increasingly common in the nosocomial setting. Materials and Methods: The patients were divided into two groups immunocompetent and immunocompromised that is, patients with significant neutropenia
