Iowa and Boston groups reported an increase in the incidence of zygomycosis in patients given prophylactic voriconazole.

متن کاملBreakthrough zygomycosis on posaconazole prophylaxis after allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
Antifungal prophylaxis with posaconazole (POS) has been shown to decrease the mortality associated with invasive fungal infections in high-risk patients. We report on a patient, with severe graft-versus-host disease after allogeneic stem cell transplantation, who developed proven pneumonia due to Rhizopus microsporus after 40 days of POS prophylaxis (fasting serum levels: 691-904 ng/mL). Despit...
متن کاملBreakthrough fungal infections in stem cell transplant recipients receiving voriconazole.
Infection with voriconazole-resistant fungi may become problematic, because organisms with decreased susceptibility have been noted. Breakthrough fungal infections occurred in 13 of 139 patients who received voriconazole at our center during the period of September 1998 through September 2003.
