*

Only organisms that caused proven or probable IFIs are listed.

One patient developed both aspergillosis and candidemia.

One patient in the itraconazole arm developed a mixed infection with A niger and Cunninghamella, and one fluconazole recipient developed a mixed infection with A fumigatus and A niger.
