Role of isavuconazole in the treatment of invasive fungal infections.

Therapeutics and clinical risk management

Wilson DT, Dimondi VP, Johnson SW, Jones TM, Drew RH.
PMID: 27536124
Ther Clin Risk Manag. 2016 Aug 03;12:1197-206. doi: 10.2147/TCRM.S90335. eCollection 2016.

Despite recent advances in both diagnosis and prevention, the incidence of invasive fungal infections continues to rise. Available antifungal agents to treat invasive fungal infections include polyenes, triazoles, and echinocandins. Unfortunately, individual agents within each class may be limited...

Microbial cell (Graz, Austria)

Chin C, Donaghey F, Helming K, McCarthy M, Rogers S, Austriaco N.
PMID: 28357223
Microb Cell. 2014 Jan 15;1(2):58-63. doi: 10.15698/mic2014.01.119.

Caspofungin was the first member of a new class of antifungals called echinocandins to be approved by a drug regulatory authority. Like the other echinocandins, caspofungin blocks the synthesis of β(1,3)-D-glucan of the fungal cell wall by inhibiting the...

Voriconazole plus caspofungin for treatment of invasive fungal infection in children with acute leukemia.

Blood research

Lee KH, Lim YT, Hah JO, Kim YK, Lee CH, Lee JM.
PMID: 29043231
Blood Res. 2017 Sep;52(3):167-173. doi: 10.5045/br.2017.52.3.167. Epub 2017 Sep 25.

BACKGROUND: Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) are a life-threatening problem in immunocompromised patients. Despite timely diagnosis and appropriate antifungal therapy, clinical outcomes of IFIs remain unsatisfactory, necessitating treatment with a combination of antifungal agents. Therefore, childhood leukemic patients treated with...

Micafungin compared with caspofungin for the treatment of febrile episodes in neutropenic patients with hematological malignancies: A retrospective study.

The Canadian journal of infectious diseases & medical microbiology = Journal canadien des maladies infectieuses et de la microbiologie medicale

Shalhoub S, Wang L, Ching A, Husain S, Rotstein C.
PMID: 25587291
Can J Infect Dis Med Microbiol. 2014 Nov-Dec;25(6):299-304. doi: 10.1155/2014/983724.

BACKGROUND: Invasive fungal infections are associated with morbidity and mortality in neutropenia secondary to hematological malignancies. Empirical antifungal agents are used to reduce their consequences. Caspofungin is the only echinocandin approved for this indication. Micafungin was compared with caspofungin...

Echinocandins are recommended as first-line agents to treat invasive infections caused by Candida glabrata since this organism is inherently less susceptible to azoles. However, resistance to echinocandins has been described in C. glabrata due to amino acid changes in...

The role of murine models in the development of antifungal therapy for systemic mycoses.

Drug resistance updates : reviews and commentaries in antimicrobial and anticancer chemotherapy

The incidence of invasive fungal infections, especially those due to Aspergillus spp. and Candida spp., continues to increase. Despite advances in medical practice, the associated mortality from these infections continues to be substantial. The echinocandin antifungals provide clinicians with...

Echinocandins: A ray of hope in antifungal drug therapy.
