Flow chart showing number of patients and samples. 1Extended EORTC/MSG criteria included host factors as published in 2008 plus several other host factors now recognized as leading to risk of developing IA, namely alcoholic liver cirrhosis, severe acute respiratory syndrome, long stay in intensive care unit and solid organ cancer. 2Study design did not include exhaustive collection of possible cases; we present only possible cases with positive PCR results that were considered as IA by clinicians and treated as such.
