T cornerstone to improving outcomes in invasive fungal infections in children is early, accurate diagnosis. With the sensitivity of blood culture for candidemia estimated to be approximately 50%, and the likelihood of Aspergillus growing in culture from bronchoalveolar lavage even worse, newer molecular fungal biomarkers are paramount to achieving that overall clinical goal. Often the patients at risk for invasive fungal infections are fragile enough that a blood-based strategy is all that can be safely employed. This brief review will highlight newer developments and thoughts focused only on blood-based fungal biomarkers for immunocompromised children (Table 1).
