Can’t do early diagnosis if we don’t think about these mycoses outside the traditional geographic hyperendemic regions!

Acanthamoeba Infection in a Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Recipient: Challenges in Diagnosis, Management, and Source Identification Acanthamoeba infection in HCT recipients, represent multiple challenges. Early diagnosis, and effective treatment, remain the main barriers to survival. High index of suspicion, may help in identifyi...

So excited to see this CPC out from @jenncuellarr.bsky.social and colleagues from @niaidnews.bsky.social about a case of Acanthamoeba in an HSCT recipient. Exemplary case and great work finding the potential source.

Effect of Levofloxacin on Bacteremia in Children With Acute Leukemia and Undergoing HSCT This open-label randomized clinical trial involving pediatric patients with acute leukemia receiving intensive chemotherapy or undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation compares the rate of b...

There is a trial a bit more contemporary in pediatric population, which suggest levofloxacin prophylaxis decreased almost by half the risk BSI in neutropenic heme-malignancy patients. No difference in mortality.
