[Fungal infections after bone marrow transplantation--an autopsy study]. 
This report analyses the frequency, the pattern and the severity of mycotic infection in a necropsy series of 103 bone marrow transplantations.  Fungal infection was documented in 33 (32%) of all death cases.  The risk of mycotic infection was increased in patients with graft failure and after retransplantation.  At post mortem examination, most cases showed invasive fungal infections.  The most frequent organ manifestations were the lungs, the gastrointestinal tract, the kidneys, the heart and the brain.  In 19 of 33 patients (57%), mycotic disease was the primary cause of death.  Fungal infections still cause major problems in clinical diagnosis, because there remain cases that will be documented only if post mortem examination is performed.
