[Infection of Aspergillus fumigatus after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with acute myeloid leukemia: 2 cases report and literature review].

Abstract

Rare yeast infections have been slowly increasing, given the increasing numbers of patients who are immunocompromised after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. A considered approach to the complex, multidisciplinary management of infections that are caused by these pathogens is essential to optimize patient outcomes. We reported the management of two patients with combined rare yeast Trichosporon asahii infections, that suggested we should perform timely multivisceral screening for systemic dissemination of infection, and early treatment and combination of medications may improve prognosis.
