ABSTRACT
El presente trabajo actualiza las recomendaciones para el tratamiento de la aspergilosis invasiva y las infecciones producidas por otros hongos filamentosos, elaboradas por el Grupo de Estudio de Micología Médica (GEMICOMED), incluido dentro de la Sociedad Española de Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica (SEIMC). Se analiza el tratamiento de estas infecciones en cuatro grupos de patologías médicas: oncohematología, trasplante de órgano sólido, paciente crítico ingresado en cuidados intensivos y pediatría. Se realiza una revisión exhaustiva de las novedades terapéuticas y de los niveles de evidencia. Estas guías han sido elaboradas, siguiendo las normativas de la SEIMC, por un grupo de trabajo formado por especialistas en enfermedades infecciosas, microbiología clínica, medicina intensiva, pediatría y oncohematología. Se proporciona también unas recomendaciones para la prevención de estas infecciones (AU)
The guidelines on the treatment of invasive fungal disease by Aspergillus spp. and other fungi issuedby the Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology (SEIMC) are presented. These recommendations are focused on four clinical categories: oncology-haematology patients, solid organtransplant recipients, patients admitted to intensive care units, and children. An extensive review ismade of therapeutical advances and scientific evidence in these settings. These guidelines have been prepared according the SEIMC consensus rules by a working group composed of specialists in infectious diseases, clinical microbiology, critical care medicine, paediatrics and oncology-haematology. Specific recommendations on the prevention of fungal infections in these patients are included (AU)
