dc.description.abstractImmunocompromised patients, those with cancer or haematological malignancies and allogeneic bone marrow/haematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients carry a high risk of invasive fungal infection (IFI), which is frequently life threatening. the most common causes of IFIs are aspergillus and Candida species. Patients who receive long-term corticosteroids or broad-spectrum antimicrobial treatment or total parenteral nutrition; patients with central venous catheters, neutropenia, malignancies, or burns and low-weight premature infants are at highest risk of IFI. Early start of antifungal therapy is mandatory, but clinical findings often do not provide clear evidence of IFI. antifungal agents preferentially used for systemic therapy of IFIs are amphotericin B preparations, fluconazole, voriconazole, posaconazole, caspofungin, Anidulafungin, micafungin, and isavuconazole. Local epidemiological data, current resistance profile against antifungal agents, and their pharmacological and economic aspects together with clinical experience must be considered for clinical management of patients with IFI.
dc.description.abstractBağışıklığı zayıflamış hastalar, özellikle kanser veya hematolojik malignitesi olanlar ve alojenik kemik iliği/hematopoetik kök hücre transplantı alıcıları, hayatı tehdit edebilen yüksek bir invazif fungal infeksiyon (İFİ) riski altındadır. Bu hastalarda en sık İFİ etkenleri Aspergillus ve Candida türleridir. Uzun süredir kortikosteroid tedavisi, geniş spektrumlu antimikrobiyal tedavi veya total parenteral nütrisyon alan hastalar; santral venöz kateteri, nötropenisi, malignitesi veya yanıkları olan hastalar ve düşük doğum ağırlıklı yenidoğanlar, İFİ gelişimi açısından en riskli hastalardır. Antifungal tedaviye erkenden başlanması zorunludur; ancak İFİ’yi klinik bulgulara dayanarak ortaya koymak çoğu kez mümkün olmaz. İFİ tedavisinde sistemik antifungal ajanlardan amfoterisin B preparatları, flukonazol, vorikonazol, posakonazol, kaspofungin, anidulafungin, mikafungin ve isavukonazol kullanılmaktadır. İFİ hastalarının klinik yönetiminde, lokal epidemiyolojik veriler, antifungal ajanlara karşı direnç profili ve bunların farmakolojik ve ekonomik yönleriyle birlikte klinik deneyimin de önemi vardır.
