Résumé

Liver cirrhosis is a chronic condition that is associated with a variety of complications across organ systems. Patients with cirrhosis also suffer from immune dysfunction, which may predispose them to catastrophic bacterial and fungal infections. Bacterial infections in liver cirrhosis have been well-documented, however, data remains scarce regarding fungal infections.
