Chemoprophylaxis for pulmonary aspergillosis during intensive chemotherapy

F Cowie et al. Arch Dis Child. 1994 Feb.

Abstract

Three children who developed pulmonary aspergillosis while being treated for leukaemia or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Each child continued with intensive myelosuppressive chemotherapy regimens during the infection and each was successfully treated with antifungal prophylaxis based on itraconazole by mouth. Amphotericin B was also given during periods of severe neutropenia. No reactivation of the fungal infection was seen.
