Consensus guidelines for the diagnosis and management of invasive fungal disease due to moulds other than Aspergillus in the haematology/oncology setting, 2021

Olivia Bupha-Intr et al.

Summary: Invasive fungal disease (IFD) due to non-Aspergillus moulds (NAM) poses a significant mortality risk in patients with malignancies or post haemopoietic stem cell transplantation. Diagnosis and management strategies focus on tissue biopsy, molecular methods, surgical debridement, and carefully selected antifungal therapy guided by susceptibility testing. Ongoing research and development of new antifungal agents offer potential for improved outcomes in the future.

Consensus guidelines for antifungal prophylaxis in haematological malignancy and haemopoietic stem cell transplantation, 2021

Benjamin W. Teh et al.

Summary: Antifungal prophylaxis is important in reducing morbidity and mortality from invasive fungal disease. Optimal and targeted use is crucial, especially with the emergence of new 'at-risk' groups and changing epidemiology. Monitoring local epidemiology and drug resistance is vital in guiding choices of prophylaxis and managing vulnerable patients effectively.

Consensus guidelines for the diagnosis and management of invasive aspergillosis, 2021

Abby P. Douglas et al.

Summary: Invasive aspergillosis poses significant challenges in haematology/oncology patients, with high mortality rates and potential resistance to antifungal treatment. Diagnosis still relies on culture and histological methods, but non-culture methods are increasingly recognized for their utility. Voriconazole remains the preferred first-line antifungal agent, with recommendations for switching to different antifungal classes for refractory cases.

Infection-Related Mortality in Adults and Children Undergoing Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation: An Australian Registry Report

Julian Lindsay et al.

Summary: Infection-related mortality (IRM) is the most common non-relapse-related cause of death after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). This report provides the first account of IRM in Australia, highlighting the importance of understanding specific infective organisms and risk factors for developing prevention strategies. The study identified key risk factors for IRM in adults and children undergoing HCT, emphasizing the need for personalized infection risk assessment and prevention strategies to reduce IRM.
