Abstract
The present article is an update of the literature on invasive fungal infections caused by filamentous fungi in critically ill patients. A multidisciplinary group of Spanish physicians with an interest in these infections organized a joint session and selected the most important papers produced lately in the field. Each article was analyzed and discussed by one of the members of the panel. Studies from the fields of causative microorganisms, epidemiology, and diagnosis are discussed; including the assessment of different strategies for the early identification and treatment of patients at risk of fungal infections by filamentous fungi in the intensive care unit setting.
Keywords:

Resumen
El presente trabajo es una revisión de la bibliografía más relevante publicada recientemente acerca de la infección fúngica invasiva por hongos filamentosos en el paciente crítico. Un grupo multidisciplinar compuesto por diferentes especialistas españoles con interés en este campo ha seleccionado los artículos. Cada autor ha analizado y comentado una publicación, referente a la etiología, epidemiología y diagnóstico de las micosis profundas por hongos filamentosos. Además, se valoran las estrategias de diagnóstico y tratamiento precoz de estas graves infecciones en las unidades de cuidados intensivos.
