Invasive fungal diseases (IFDs) are major and lethal infectious complications for patients with neutropenia after chemotherapy. Prophylaxis with intravenous and oral suspended itraconazole (200 mg Q12h intravenously × 2 days followed by 5 mg/kg·d orally in twice) or oral suspension of posaconazole (200 mg Q8h) was administered for preventing IFDs. The only 2 episodes of proven IFDs were not included after propensity-score matching (PSM), while the incidence of possible IFDs was 8.2% (9/110) in itraconazole group and 1.8% (2/110) in posaconazole group, respectively (P = .030). In clinical failure analysis, the failure rate of posaconazole group was lower as compared to the itraconazole group (2.7% vs 10.9%, P = .016). Both intravenous-oral itraconazole and posaconazole suspension are effective in preventing IFDs, while posaconazole suspension seems more tolerable.
