Diagnosis and management of Aspergillus diseases: executive summary of the 2017 ESCMID-ECMM-ERS guideline

Andrew J. Ullmann, +58 more
TL;DR: Treatment duration for aspergillosis is strongly recommended based on clinical improvement, degree of immunosuppression and response on imaging, and in refractory disease, where a personalized approach considering reversal of predisposing factors, switching drug class and surgical intervention is also strongly recommended.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI

Delaying Amphotericin B–Based Frontline Therapy Significantly Increases Mortality among Patients with Hematologic Malignancy Who Have Zygomycosis

TL;DR: Delayed amphotericin B-based therapy resulted in a 2-fold increase in mortality rate at 12 weeks after diagnosis, compared with early treatment, and the pursuit of aggressive diagnostic strategies and prompt initiation of antifungal agents with activity against Zygomycetes should be considered for patients with hematological malignancy who are at an increased risk for zygomyCosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Invasive fungal infections in patients with hematologic malignancies in a tertiary care cancer center: an autopsy study over a 15-year period (1989-2003).

TL;DR: Among patients with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, those with graft-versus-host disease had a histopathological pattern distinct from those with neutropenia, and the prevalence of all other IFI remained relatively constant.
