Özet

Objectives: Invasive fungal infections (IFI) are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients. Hepatosplenic candidiasis (HSC) is defined as a distinct form of invasive candidiasis, with liver, spleen, and kidney involvement, in patients with hematological disorders.
