27 Patterson TF et al. Clin Infect Dis 2016 Recommendations for primary treatment of IPA Voriconazole Liposomal-AmB Isavuconazole Lipid AmB Voriconazole+Echino Strong Rec High-Q Evid Strong Rec Moderate-Q Evid Strong Rec Moderate-Q Evid Weak Rec Low-Q Evid Selected patients with documented IPA Weak Rec Moderate-Q Evid Echinocandin NOT recommended: Strong Rec Moderate-Q Evid Ø Early initiation of antifungal therapy in patients with strongly suspected IPA is warranted while a diagnostic evaluation is conducted (strong rec; high-q evidence). Ø We recommend that treatment of IPA be continued for a minimum of 6 12 weeks

28 Patterson et al, Treatment of IPA be continued for a minimum of 6 12 weeks, largely dependent on the degree and duration of immunosuppression, site of disease, and evidence of disease improvement (strong recommendation; low quality evidence). For patients with successfully treated IPA who require subsequent immunosuppression, secondary prophylaxis should be initiated to prevent recurrence (strong recommendation; moderate-quality evidence).

29 Patterson et al, Colony-stimulating factors may be considered in neutropenic patients with diagnosed or suspected IA (weak recommendation; low-quality evidence). There is insufficient evidence regarding the value of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor vs granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in this setting. Granulocyte transfusions can be considered for neutropenic patients with IA that is refractory or unlikely to respond to standard therapy, and for an anticipated duration of more than one week (weak recommendation; low-quality evidence)

30 Patterson TF et al. Clin Infect Dis 2016 Diagnosis of IA When PCR assays are used, results should be considered in conjunction with other diagnostic tests and the clinical context (strong recomm; moderate-quality evid.). Serum and BAL galactomannan (GM) is recommended as an accurate marker for the diagnosis of IA in adult and pediatric patients when used in certain patient subpopulations (hematologic malignancy, HSCT) (strong recomm; high-quality evid). GM is not recommended for routine blood screening in patients receiving mold-active antifungal therapy or prophylaxis, but can be applied to bronchoscopy specimens from those patients (strong recomm; high-quality evid). Serum assays for (1 3)-β-D-glucan are recommended for diagnosing IA in high-risk patients (hematologic malignancy, allogeneic HSCT), but are not specific for Aspergillus (strong recomm; moderate-quality evid). We recommend performing BAL in patients with a suspicion of IPA (strong recomm; moderatequality evid). Routine use of contrast during a chest CT scan for a suspicion of IPA is not recommended (strong recomm;moderate-quality evid). Contrast is recommended when a nodule or a mass is close to a large vessel (strong recomm; moderate-quality evid).

31 Patterson TF et al. Clin Infect Dis 2016 Patient response to therapy Serial monitoring of serum GM can be used in the appropriate patient subpopulations (hematologic malignancy, HSCT) who have an elevated GM at baseline to monitor disease progression and therapeutic response, and predict outcome (strong recommendation; moderate-quality evidence). (1 3)-β-D-glucan has not been extensively studied in IA to predict outcome (weak recommendation; low-quality evidence). Treatment of pediatric patients Treatment of aspergillosis in children uses the same recommended therapies as in adult patients; however, the dosing is different and for some antifungals is unknown (strong recommendation; high-quality evidence).

32 Terapia antifungina empirica

33 Patterson TF et al. Clin Infect Dis 2016 Empiric antifungal therapy is recommended for high-risk patients with prolonged neutropenia who remain persistently febrile despite broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy. Antifungal options include a lipid formulation ofamb (strong recommendation; highquality evidence), an echinocandin (caspofungin or micafungin) (strong recommendation; high-quality evidence), or voriconazole (strong recommendation; moderate quality evidence).

34 Ø For high-risk ptients without prior systemic antifungal prophylxis, mold-active empirical antifungal therapy is recommended, if fever persists for >96h or if fever relapses despite adequate antibacterial therapy (AI) Ø For patients receiving vori or posa prophylaxis, a switch may be judicious in the setting of persisting FUO (CIII) Ø But if a patient shows no clinical sign of IFI despite adequate diagnostic work-up, GM is neg, and levels of posa or vori are within the target range, unmodified continuation of oral antifungal prophylaxis is reasonable Ø For empirical mold-active antifungal therapy CASPO and L-AmB are approved, but L-AmB is preferred in patients at increased risk of IFI with non-aspergillus molds (AI)
