| Factor | fungal infection after cardiac surgery with CHD children |

| Biomarker | NA |
| Classification | A3 (clinical factor - disease & symptom) |

| Objective | morbidity |
| Conclusion | Fungal infections in paediatric patients after cardiac surgery may markedly influence morbidity and mortality. Fungal infection prophylaxis in this specific group of children may reduce morbidity, whereas early empirical treatment followed by a targeted approach may improve outcomes. The ‘hit fast, hit hard’ treatment strategy may be the best rescue option for children who develop invasive fungal disease after cardiac surgery. |
