Abstract
This document aims to summarise currently available data on immunity-based therapy of fungal infections and to provide basic knowledge on the immune response to fungal infections. This helps to understand how, in selected cases, immunity-based therapy may improve the response to standard antifungal treatment. The potential indications of immunity-based therapy in the paediatric patient are reviewed, although there is still a lack of scientific evidence for its use in children.
