Magnusiomyces and Geotrichum infections are not limited to haemato-oncologic patients. Contrasting the current ESCMID/ECMM recommendation, our results indicate that GM is no suitable biomarker for the diagnosis of Magnusiomyces infection. Contrarily, BDG sensitivity is comparable to that of candidemia.
