Retrospective study on the incidence and outcome of proven and probable invasive fungal infections in high‐risk pediatric onco‐hematological patients

Abstract

About two-thirds of pediatric patients with PP-IFI survived, regardless of whether the infection occurred after frontline chemotherapy, reinduction chemotherapy for disease relapse, or after HSCT. Further prospective studies are needed to define the impact of antifungal prophylaxis and early combination therapy on short-term overall survival.
