Abstract

Invasive fungal infections are quite rare (1–5%) following conventional ABMT for malignant lymphoma.

The post-immunotherapy course in both patients was complicated by invasive fungal infections (pulmonary mucormycosis and generalized aspergillosis). The association between invasive fungal infection and immunotherapy following ABMT for malignant lymphoma patients is discussed
