Isavuconazole, a triazole-class antifungal, is effective and safe for both primary treatment and salvage therapy in a variety of fungal infections. This article reviews recent knowledge on the role of this antifungal in the treatment of mucormycosis and breakthrough invasive fungal infections (bIFI) during antifungal therapy. Isavuconazole has demonstrated favorable clinical outcomes and a good safety profile in various patient populations with mucormycosis, including those with comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus or severe immunosuppression. Particularly noteworthy is the fact that drug interactions in patients with mucormycosis, where a solid organ transplant was a predisposing factor, have been effectively managed. In the treatment of bIFIs, the use of isavuconazole requires a thoughtful reflection about the fungal species involved and their susceptibility profiles. This is highly dependent on the antifungal agent administered before the onset of bIFI. Early diagnosis and appropriate antifungal therapy are essential to improve outcomes in patients with mucormycosis and bIFIs. Isavuconazole represents a valuable option for managing these complex infections.
艾沙康唑是一种三唑类抗真菌药物,对各种真菌感染的初始治疗和挽救治疗均有效且安全。本文综述了该抗真菌药物在毛霉病治疗以及抗真菌治疗期间突破性侵袭性真菌感染(bIFI)中作用的最新知识。艾沙康唑在各类毛霉病患者群体中均显示出良好的临床疗效和安全性,包括患有糖尿病或严重免疫抑制等合并症的患者。特别值得注意的是,在以实体器官移植为诱发因素的毛霉病患者中,药物相互作用已得到有效处理。在bIFI的治疗中,使用艾沙康唑需要对所涉及的真菌种类及其药敏情况进行深入思考。这高度依赖于bIFI发作前使用的抗真菌药物。早期诊断和适当的抗真菌治疗对于改善毛霉病和bIFI患者的预后至关重要。艾沙康唑是管理这些复杂感染的一个有价值的选择。
