Study exclusion criteria included invasive aspergillosis in which the disease was limited to allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), aspergilloma, or ocular disease; Candida endocarditis, osteomyelitis, or meningitis; prosthetic device at suspected site of infection not removed within 72 hours; esophageal candidiasis limited to oropharynx and other cause of esophagitis or other esophageal pathology.
