A Comparison of Fungal Infections in Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplant Patients and Hematology and Oncology Patients at the Mattel Children??s Hospital at UCLA From 1991-2001 (original) (raw)

The study compares the incidence of fungal infections in pediatric bone marrow transplant (BMT) patients with those in hematology and oncology patients at Mattel Children’s Hospital at UCLA between 1991 and 2001. It analyzes factors such as patient demographics, transplant sources, conditioning regimens, and outcomes, highlighting key differences in infection rates and treatment responses. The findings suggest that while fungal infections remain a significant concern in both patient groups, BMT patients may be at heightened risk due to their immunocompromised state.
