Abstract:
:Invasive fungal disease (IFD) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing treatment for acute leukemia (AL). Antifungal prophylactic strategies are associated with significant toxicities and cost. We performed a retrospective study of the incidence and risk factors for IFD among patients newly diagnosed with and treated for AL between January 1, 2004 and July 1, 2006. Patient follow up concluded January 1, 2007. Among 231 patients with newly diagnosed AL, 31 (13.4%) developed IFD by the end of follow up, 24 (10.4%) of whom developed IFD within the first 100 days after diagnosis of AL. The cumulative probability of developing IFD was 5.9% by 30 days and 11.1% at 100 days after AL diagnosis. Patients who had persistent leukemia after an initial course of induction chemotherapy were significantly more likely to develop IFD than those who did not have evidence of persistent leukemia (14/65 (21.5%) vs. 15/148 (10.1%), P = 0.03). In a time-dependent Cox model, the adjusted hazard ratio for developing IFD within the first 100 days of AL diagnosis based on the number of days of neutropenia in that period was 4.85 (95% confidence interval: 1.52, 15.4). Those patients with more days of neutropenia in the first 100 days after AL diagnosis, such as those who did not achieve remission after a first course of induction chemotherapy, were more likely to develop IFD.
