responses to antifungals is hard to assess, in view of the multiple, frequently interrelated factors influencing outcomes, such as pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic parameters determining drug availability at the site of infection, the net state of immune suppression, delay in diagnosis, or surgical debulking of infectious foci. Our current therapeutic approach of NAIMIs should evolve toward a better integration of the dynamic interactions between the pathogen, the drug and the host. Innovative concepts of experimental research may consist in manipulating the host immune system to induce a specific antifungal response or targeted drug delivery. In this review, we discuss the challenges in the management of NAIMIs and provide an update about the latest advances in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
