Aims
Although therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of voriconazole is performed in outpatients to prevent treatment failure and toxicity, whether TDM should be performed in all or only selected patients remains controversial. This study evaluated the association between voriconazole trough concentrations and clinical events.

We investigated t...
Fusarium species are plant pathogens which exist ubiquitously in the environment. While they can cause superficial and subcutaneous infections in healthy individuals, they can give rise to deep and disseminated infections in immunocompromised patients, particularly in patients with haematological malignancies with a high risk of mortality. This cas...
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches of invasive mold infections in febrile neutropenic patients. Methods: This retrospective and single-center study includes patients with hematologic malignancy and invasive mold infections. Predictors for 30-day and 1-year mortality were determined. Results: A total of 87 pati...
Background
Triazole antifungals are widely used as broad-spectrum antifungal activity; however, there are many undetected and unreported adverse events (AEs).
Methods
Data from the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) from the first quarter (Q1) of 2004 to the third quarter (Q3) of 2021 were selected for disproportio...
