Clinical characteristics and outcomes in 303 HIV-infected patients with invasive fungal infections: data from the Prospective Antifungal Therapy Alliance registry, a multicenter, observational study.

This analysis aimed to characterize the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of invasive fungal infections (IFIs) in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Data were examined for HIV patients enrolled in the Prospective Antifungal Therapy (PATH) Alliance registry, a multicenter, observational study of patients with IFIs in North America from 2004 to 2008. Patient demographics, clinical characteristics, comorbidities, antifungal therapies, and survival were assessed.

Epidemiology and outcomes of candidemia in 3648 patients: data from the Prospective Antifungal Therapy (PATH Alliance®) registry, 2004-2008.

This analysis describes the epidemiology and outcomes of candidemia in patients enrolled in the Prospective Antifungal Therapy Alliance (PATH Alliance®) registry from 2004 to 2008. Overall, 4067 Candida isolates were identified from 3648 patients. The most common Candida spp.

Clinical epidemiology of 960 patients with invasive aspergillosis from the PATH Alliance registry.

Objectives: The study investigated the epidemiology and outcome of invasive aspergillosis (IA), an important cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients.

Methods: Cases of proven/probable IA from the Prospective Antifungal Therapy Alliance (PATH Alliance(®)) registry - a prospective surveillance network comprising 25 centers in the United States and Canada that collected data on invasive fungal infections from 2004 to 2008 - were analyzed with respect to clinical outcome.

Results: Nine hundred and sixty patients with IA were enrolled, the most frequent underlying disease being hematologic malignancy (n=464 [48.

The PATH (Prospective Antifungal Therapy) Alliance® registry and invasive fungal infections: update 2012.

The Prospective Antifungal Therapy Alliance (PATH Alliance®) performed prospective surveillance of invasive fungal infections (IFIs) among patients hospitalized at 25 medical centers in North America between 2004 and 2008, collecting information on the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, and mortality rates of IFIs. In total, 7526 IFIs were identified in 6845 patients. Candida spp.
