Antifungal Management in Patients with Hematological Malignancies: From Primary Prophylaxis to Empirical and Diagnosis-Driven Treatment
Review in Turkish journal of haematology : official journal of Turkish Society of Haematology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Invasive fungal diseases (IFDs) remain a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with hematological malignancies, especially those undergoing intensive chemotherapy or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). This text provides a comprehensive risk-adapted framework for antifungal prophylaxis, stratifying patients into high-, intermediate-, and low-risk categories. Mold-active prophylaxis, primarily with posaconazole, is recommended for high-risk patients such as those with acute myeloid leukemia during remission induction or those with grade III-IV graft-versus-host disease following allogeneic HSCT. Fluconazole remains an option for yeast-active prophylaxis in intermediate-risk patients, while low-risk groups generally do not require prophylaxis. The evolving landscape of targeted therapies such as venetoclax, FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 inhibitors, and CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy poses new challenges, particularly due to drug-drug interactions with triazole antifungals. In patients receiving venetoclax, azole co-administration necessitates significant dose adjustments. We also present algorithms for antifungal management in the context of CD19 CAR-T therapy and novel agents, emphasizing the role of individualized risk assessment. Beyond prophylaxis, timely diagnosis and early treatment of IFDs are critical. The role of thoracic computed tomography, serum and bronchoalveolar lavage galactomannan, and fungal biomarkers is discussed within diagnostic-driven strategies. We outline treatment pathways for suspected pulmonary or sinus fungal infections, including when to escalate antifungal therapy or consider surgical intervention. This content offers a practical and evidence-based guide for clinicians navigating antifungal strategies in a rapidly changing therapeutic landscape, aiming to reduce IFD-related mortality while balancing toxicity, resistance, and healthcare costs.
