Diagnosis of Lymphohistiocytic Hemophagocytosis in Intensive Care

Sponsor: University Hospital, Strasbourg, France

Summary

Patients with hepatocellular insufficiency and/or cirrhosis are at risk of developing invasive fungal infections, particularly in critical care settings. In international recommendations, voriconazole is positioned as the first-line treatment for invasive aspergillosis. However, this molecule-and the azole class of antifungals-is associated with frequent hepatic toxicity. Available since 2018, isavuconazole appears to be better tolerated in patients without pre-existing liver dysfunction. The aim of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the validity of the hscore in intensive care and resuscitation patients.
