Liposomal amphotericin-B (L-AmB) prophylaxis is used in children with leukemia when azoles are contraindicated, but its effect is debated. We reviewed cases of invasive aspergillosis despite L-AmB 2.5 mg/kg twice weekly in children with high-risk leukemia during 2012-2019. Ten (16%) of 62 children had proven or probable aspergillosis. Thus, L-AmB prophylaxis offered insufficient protection for Aspergillus, in particular for Aspergillus flavus.
两性霉素 B 脂质体(L-AmB)预防治疗用于不能使用唑类药物的白血病患儿,但它的效果存在争议。我们回顾了 2012 年至 2019 年期间,62 例高危白血病患儿每周两次使用 2.5mg/kg L-AmB 后仍发生侵袭性曲霉菌病的病例。10 例(16%)患儿确诊或拟诊为曲霉菌病。因此,L-AmB 预防治疗对曲霉菌,特别是黄曲霉菌,不能提供充分的保护。
