415. Breakthrough Invasive Fungal Infections in Adult Hematologic Malignancy Patients Receiving Isavuconazole Prophylaxis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Open Forum Infectious Diseases"
DOI: 10.1093/ofid/ofy210.426
Abstract: Abstract Background Isavuconazole (ISA) is a novel triazole antifungal approved for treating invasive aspergillosis and mucormycosis. While ISA is increasingly used for prophylaxis in hematologic malignancy patients when other azoles are contraindicated, there are currently… read more here.

Evaluation of biomarkers: Galactomannan and 1,3-beta-D-glucan assay for the diagnosis of invasive fungal infections in immunocompromised patients from a tertiary care centre
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Indian Journal of Medical Microbiology"
DOI: 10.4103/ijmm.ijmm_18_366
Abstract: Purpose: Due to limitations of traditional microbiological techniques, standardised fungal biomarker tests such as Galactomannan Index (GMI) and 1,3-beta-D-glucan (BDG) are being preferred for diagnosis of invasive fungal infections (IFIs). These tests have been extensively… read more here.
