Wound culture mycology distribution, by wound classification, in study of US military patients who had laboratory evidence of fungal infection after battlefield trauma in Afghanistan, June 1, 2009–December 31, 2014. Because wound infections were polymicrobial, organisms are not mutually exclusive for a classification type. IFI, invasive fungal infection; other fungi, filamentous fungi other than order Mucorales, Aspergillus spp., and Fusarium spp.
