Host factors, clinical, and mycological criteria for the diagnosis of probable sino-orbital fungal infection in solid organ transplant recipient (adapted from ¹¹).

Host factors	Receipt of a solid organ transplant
Clinical features	Acute localized pain (including pain radiating to the eye)
	Or nasal ulcer with black eschar
	Or extension form the paranasal sinus across bony barriers, including into the orbit
Mycological evidence	Mold recovered by culture of sinus aspirate samples or microscopic detection of fungal elements in sinus aspirate samples indicating a mold
	Or for Aspergillus: galactomannan antigen detected in plasma, serum, or CSF
	Or for Aspergillus: ≥2 PCR tests positive in plasma/serum/whole blood
