Abstract
Invasive fungal infections (IFIs), mainly due to pulmonary aspergillosis, are considered a serious complication in acute leukaemia, with an unfavourable impact on patient. In this well-conducted retrospective study, Reynolds et al. suggest that the use of posaconazole prophylaxis in association with venetoclax plus hypomethylating agents or chemotherapy leads to a reduction of IFI incidence. Therapeutic drug monitoring of posaconazole levels is suggested, even if no correlation with IFI risk has been demonstrated. Commentary on: Reynolds et al. Invasive fungal infection following venetoclax and posaconazole co-administration. Br J Haematol 2023;203:593-598.
