Treatment and timing in invasive mould disease.

چکیده
Invasive mould disease is a growing threat for immunocompromised patients. The optimum time to use mould-active antifungal agents is much debated. Current approaches to antifungal prophylaxis, early treatment (empirical and pre-emptive therapy) and treatment of documented mould infections in onco-haematology patients are discussed.

متن کاملNew pharmacological opportunities for the treatment of invasive mould diseases.
Recently, several randomized studies have been published that will shape treatment decisions in the prevention and management of invasive mould infections. Liposomal amphotericin B is an option for empirical or targeted treatment of invasive aspergillosis or mucormycosis, but for prophylaxis therapy, the triazole class now predominates. The triazole voriconazole is currently regarded as a drug ...
متن کاملAn optoelectronic sensor for the monitoring of mould growth in concealed spaces
The growth of mould in the indoor environment is an important contributor to the development and exacerbation of atopic disease, and potentially poses other health risks. Moreover, the detection and elimination of mould have resulted in massive remedial expenditures, often without clear engineering knowledge of the nature of the moisture events that led to the damage, especially for residential...
متن کاملCandida and invasive mould diseases in non-neutropenic critically ill patients and patients with haematological cancer.
Critically ill patients and patients with haematological cancer are HIV-negative populations at high risk of invasive fungal infections. In intensive-care units, candidaemia and intra-abdominal candidiasis predominate, but aspergillosis has emerged as a lethal, under-recognised cause of pneumonia. In patients with haematological malignancies or who have undergone stem-cell transplantations, pul...
