Aspergillaceae · Mould

Mycose filamenteuse invasive touchant quasi-exclusivement les immunodéprimés profonds (neutropénie, greffe de moelle, corticothérapie prolongée, anti-TNF). Galactomannane sérique : biomarqueur clé chez les hémato-oncologiques. TDM thoracique : signe du halo (nodule > 1 cm entouré de verre dépoli), caractéristique de l'angio-invasion, surtout chez le neutropénique (Patterson 2016). ATB : voriconazole en 1ère intention (IDSA 2016). Isavuconazole alternative.

Scope: dosing as described in the cited guidelines (French or international context, stated by the source), for adults with normal renal function unless stated on the line. No renal or hepatic, paediatric or pregnancy adjustment is provided systematically. These regimens have not been reviewed by any infectious-disease specialist to date.
