Invasive Candidiasis in Pediatric Hematologic Malignancy: Increased Risk of Dissemination With Candida tropicalis

Screening for intraocular candidiasis continues to play an important role in patients with IC, and future studies are needed to determine if screening can be limited to patients with select risk factors.
