With use of data from the Prospective Antifungal Therapy (PATH) Alliance registry, we performed this multicenter, prospective, observational study to assess the epidemiologic characters and outcomes of invasive fungal infection (IFI) in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients. ⋯ IA remains the most commonly identified IFI among HSCT recipients, but rates of survival in persons with IA appear to have improved, compared with previously reported data. Invasive candidiasis and IFI due to molds other than Aspergillus species remain a significant problem in HSCT recipients.
