PubMedID- 21486731 Among patients with malignant haematological diseases, the highest rates of invasive candida infections are found in patients with neutropenia due to induction chemotherapy for acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome and in recipients of allogeneic blood stem cell transplants in the early post-transplant phase and in periods of graft-versus-host disease (gvhd) [16,17].
