Incidence and Outcome of Invasive Fungal Diseases in Children With Hematological Malignancies and/or Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: Results of a Prospective Multicenter Study
Conclusion: This prospective multicenter study provides information on the current incidence and outcome of IFD in the real life setting. Practice variation between the centers may help to ultimately improve antifungal management in children at highest risk for IFDs. Introduction Available data on the incidence and outcome of invasive fungal diseases (IFD) in children treated for a hematological malignancy or undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are mostly based on single site, retrospective studies or on studies performed prior to the availability of newer compounds such as broad-sp...

Risk of Invasive Fungal Infections in Patients with High-Risk MDS and AML Receiving Hypomethylating Agents
ConclusionIFI occurred in 9.6% of patients treated with HMA, but was observed in 20.4% of those who were neutropenic on C1D1 of HMA. Another potential risk factor identified was t-MDS versus de novo MDS. Prospective evaluation of mold-active antifungal prophylaxis in patients with MDS or AML who are neutropenic at the start of HMA therapy is warranted.DisclosuresFrey: Novartis: Consultancy; Servier Consultancy: Consultancy.
