dc.description.abstractA retrospective study of 2526 autopsy cases was done in order to find out the pattern of systemic fungal infections. The autopsy records were reviewed for case histories, gross and histological findings. The histological sections from cases showing evidence of fungalo infections were reviewed. The fungal infections were found in 28 cases. Of these 11 (93.29 percent) were aspergillosis, 8 (28.27 percent) were mucormyosis, 6 (21.43 percent) were monilial infections and 3 (10.71 percent) were monilial infections and 3 (10.71 percent) were cryptococcosis. The incidence of systemic fungal infection was 1.11 percent. The most common type of fungal infection was aspergillosis. The maximum number of fungal infection was seen in the respiratory system. The fungal infections presented as opportunistic infections in all but one case. The metabolic disturbance was the most frequent predisposing condition for systemic fungal infections.en_US
