The types of diseases included pneumonia ,endocarditis,meningitis and pulmonary infection. The pathogens involved Trichosporon asahii ,Candida portugal ,Malassezia globosa ,Pichia guilliermondii ,Alternaria alternate and Candida krusei. Clinical pharmacists comprehensively followed up the treatment and reviewed the literature to assist doctors in formulating treatment plans.
