Sumario:BACKGROUND: Invasive fungal infections are a leading cause of death in allo-HSCT (allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplant) recipients. We describe the epidemiology of IFIs (invasive fungal infections) in allo-HSCT recipients at a single institution in Salt Lake City, Utah between 2006 and 2015. METHODS: We searched all encounters in the Intermountain Healthcare electronic medical record from 2006 to 2015 for clinical data associated with IFIs in allo-HSCT recipients. EORTC-MSG definitions were applied to categorize IFI as proven, probable, or possible. Linear regression was used to model the variation in incidence over time. RESULTS: 326 unique allo-HSCT were performed; of these 114 episodes of IFI occurred in 105 patients. Mean incidence was 35.9 IFI per 100 transplants, and increased by 2.3 IFI cases/100 transplants per year. 25.4% of cases were classified as proven; 47.4% as probable and 19.3% as possible. Invasive Aspergillus represented the majority of cases (62.3%), followed by non-specified (in most cases positive imaging and a positive β-d-glucan, 18%), Candidiasis (10%), and Mucorales (3.5%). The median age was 50 years, range 22 to 73, with males representing 52.6% of cases. The most common non-hematologic comorbidities were chronic pulmonary disease (42.9%), chronic heart failure (32.4%), and hepatic disease (31.4%). 48.6% of patients received matched unrelated allo-HSCT, 34.3% received matched sibling donor allo-HSCT, 14.3% received haploidentical allo-HSCT, and 3% received cord allo-HSCT. 79% of transplants were myeloablative. Median time from transplant to onset of IFI was 145 days (95% CI 39–259). The median time to onset of Aspergillosis was 120 days (95% CI 34–241 days), Candidiasis was 130 days (95% CI 12–283 days), and Mucorales was 246 days (95% CI 126–338 days). Active GVHD was present in 60% of IFI cases. 63% of cases were on antifungal prophylaxis, most commonly an echinocandin. All-cause mortality was 30.5% at 42 days and 65.7% at 1 year. The median time to death from the onset of IFI was 68.5 days. CONCLUSION: IFIs are common in allo-HSCT recipients and appear to be increasing in frequency. Further work is needed to risk-stratify patients, determine optimal prophylaxis and empiric treatment, and define resistance trends.
