Abstract
- An international randomized trial compared oral posaconazole with oral fluconazole for prophylaxis against invasive fungal infections in patients with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) receiving immunosuppressive therapy. Results indicated that posaconazole was similar to fluconazole for prophylaxis against fungal infections, but was superior in preventing invasive aspergillosis and reducing the rate of deaths related to fungal infections.
