Duration of therapy for invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in children

The duration of therapy for invasive pulmonary aspergillosis depends on the child’s clinical and mycological response, and underlying immunosuppression – seek expert advice. Treatment is usually continued for 12 weeks (intravenous + oral), or longer depending on progress and state of immunosuppression.Douglas, 2021

Secondary prophylaxis is recommended for children with ongoing significant immune compromise – seek expert advice and consult specialist guidelines (eg Consensus guidelines for antifungal prophylaxis in haematological malignancy and haemopoietic stem cell transplantation).
