Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • To be eligible for enrollment in the study database, patients must have received (in the Intensive Care Unit [ICU] at study entry) at least 1 day therapy with systemic antifungal agent for treatment of a proven or suspected fungal infection.

Exclusion criteria

  • None.

Treatment and study plan

Voriconazole

Drug

Patients must have received (in the Intensive Care Unit [ICU] at study entry) at least 1 day therapy with systemic antifungal agent for treatment of a proven or suspected fungal infection. The decision regarding choice of antifungal agent would lie with the treating physician and will necessarily precede and be independent of the decision to enroll a patient into the study.

Other names: Vfend

Primary outcomes

  1. Diagnosis of Systemic Fungal Infection (SFI)

    Time frame: Up to 9 months

    Evidence of clinical signs and symptoms of systemic fungal infection including: fever, hypotension, or radiological or microbiological evidence, as assessed by the investigator.

  2. Management of SFI: Choice of Treatment

    Time frame: Up to 9 months

    Number of participants treated with each antifungal therapy. Each participant may have recieved 1 or more treatments as deemed clinically necessary by the investigator.

  3. Management of SFI: Reason for Selection of Antifungal Agent

    Time frame: Up to 9 months

    Number of participants with reason for investigator's selection of particular antifungal therapy.

  4. Total Daily Dose for Selected Antifungal Agent

    Time frame: Up to 9 months

  5. Number of Participants With Clinical Outcomes.

    Time frame: Up to 9 months

    Clinical outcomes, as assessed by the investigator, defined as:

    Cured: clinical signs and symptoms of fungal infection absent. Improved: clinical signs and symptoms of fungal infection improved. Stable: no change in overall clinical findings, compared with previous reporting period.

    Deteriorated: clinical signs and symptoms of fungal infection worsened (including death).

    Indeterminate; clinical signs and symptoms of fungal infection were insufficient to make an evaluation.

  6. Number of Participants With Mycological Outcomes

    Time frame: Up to 9 months

    Mycological outcome of persistence (continued presence of fungi on microbiology despite therapy), eradication (absence of fungi after therapy

    ), or unknown (results are not available/not known) as assessed by the Investigator/Physician.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Concomitant Medications

    Time frame: Up to 9 months

  2. Median Duration of Antifungal Therapy

    Time frame: Up to 9 months

  3. Medication Administration

    Time frame: Up to 9 months

    Participants who received medication by IV or oral administration, reported by total number of participants receiving IV and total number of participants receiving oral administation (overall), and by total number of participants receiving voriconazole only by IV or oral administration.
