The study period was 24 months, between January 1st 2010 and December 31st 2011. Death associated with fungemia was calculated using the author’s hospital sample (104/240). Regarding mean incidence, it was calculated by making a ratio between the number of isolates received from each hospital by the number of patients admitted (published on Administração Central do Sistema de Saúde, http://www.acss.min-saude.pt/) during the same period of time. Ilse Fontes (Hospital de Santa Luzia, Elvas) is missing at Acknowledgments section.
