摘要

The FUNDICU consensus was conceived with the aim of developing a standard set of definitions for invasive fungal diseases in non-neutropenic, intensive care unit patients outside the classical immunocompromised patient populations, which could improve the generalizability and comparability of research findings. In this letter, we report the first results of an original study exploring as to whether some potential additional criteria could be consistent in terms of results and prognostic impact with those defining probable invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in the original FUNDICU consensus, focusing in particular on any possible role of chest X-ray.
