We performed a retrospective observational study to examine the incidence of invasive aspergillosis (IA) among allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients, according to whether patients received at least 1 week of voriconazole prophylaxis. We report no cases of IA among 92 HSCT recipients who received voriconazole prophylaxis compared with a 10% (23/223) incidence among those receiving other systemic antifungals for prophylaxis (P < .0005).

A 59-year-old female with anti-MDA5 antibody-positive dermatomyositis was treated with prednisolone, tacrolimus, cyclophosphamide, tofacitinib, and plasma exchange. Five months post-treatment, elevated β-D-glucan levels and a pulmonary shadow on CT were noted. was identified, leading to voriconazole initiation.

Article Synopsis
- This study assessed the occurrence of invasive fungal disease (IFD) in patients who received allogeneic stem cell transplants in China during 2021.
- A total of 2015 patients were involved, with 76% receiving mold-active antifungal prophylaxis, yet the cumulative incidence of IFD was found to be 6.3% within a year post-transplant.
- Key risk factors for IFD included advanced disease stages, delayed engraftment of neutrophils and platelets, and severe graft-versus-host disease, contributing to an IFD-related mortality rate of 48.28%.

We report a case of a 15-year-old with refractory and relapsed AML and profound prolonged neutropenia who developed a disseminated invasive infection while on echinocandin prophylaxis for invasive fungal disease. Azole antifungal therapies, which are often used as prophylaxis, were initially avoided due to concerns for CYP drug interactions. Treatment with a combination of liposomal amphotericin B, voriconazole, and adjuvant granulocyte transfusions was successful as he awaited neutrophil recovery.
