Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) constitute a leading cause of morbidity and infection-related mortality among hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients. With the use of secondary prophylaxis, a history of IFI is not an absolute contraindication to allo-HSCT. However, still, IFI recurrence remains a risk factor for transplant-related mortality. In this study, of the 105 children undergoing HSCT between April 2010 and February 2013, 10 patients who had IFI history before transplantation and had undergone allo-HSCT were evaluated retrospectively to investigate results of secondary prophylaxis. In conclusion, our study shows that amphotericin B and caspofungin was successful as secondary antifungal prophylaxis agents with no relapse of IFI. In addition, after engraftment, secondary prophylaxis was continued with voriconazole orally in 4 patients that yielded good results.
侵袭性真菌感染(IFI)是造血干细胞移植(HSCT)受者发病和感染相关死亡的主要原因。采用二级预防措施时,IFI病史并非异基因HSCT的绝对禁忌证。然而,IFI复发仍是移植相关死亡的危险因素。在本研究中,对2010年4月至2013年2月期间接受HSCT的105例儿童中,10例移植前有IFI病史且接受了异基因HSCT的患者进行回顾性评估,以调查二级预防的结果。总之,我们的研究表明,两性霉素B和卡泊芬净作为二级抗真菌预防药物是成功的,IFI无复发。此外,移植后,4例患者继续口服伏立康唑进行二级预防,效果良好。
