Treatment of Scedosporiosis with Voriconazole: Clinical Experience with 107 Patients [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2008
ABSTRACT The efficacy of voriconazole in 107 patients with scedosporiosis was analyzed. Principal infection sites were the lungs/sinuses (24%), central nervous system (CNS) (20%), and bone (18%), while 21% of patients had disseminated infection. Solid organ transplantation (22%), hematological malignancy (21%), and surgery/trauma
