To determine why incidence of mucormycosis infections was increasing in a large university hospital in Belgium, we examined case data from 2000-2009. We found the increase was not related to voriconazole use but most probably to an increase in high-risk patients, particularly those with underlying hematologic malignancies.
为了确定为什么比利时一家大型大学医院的毛霉菌病感染发病率正在上升,我们检查了 2000 年至 2009 年的病例数据。我们发现这种增加与伏立康唑的使用无关,但很可能与高危患者,特别是患有潜在血液恶性肿瘤的患者的增加有关。
