    Snippet: Invasive mold infections were a major cause of death in our cohort, but invasive Candida infections were rare; only 1 patient had 2 episodes of candidemia. The widespread use of azoles for prophylaxis for allogeneic HCT recipients likely has changed the epidemiology of invasive fungal infections in this population [19, 38] .

    Document: Invasive mold infections were a major cause of death in our cohort, but invasive Candida infections were rare; only 1 patient had 2 episodes of candidemia. The widespread use of azoles for prophylaxis for allogeneic HCT recipients likely has changed the epidemiology of invasive fungal infections in this population [19, 38] . The 4 patients in our cohort who died of invasive aspergillosis did so before neutrophil engraftment, and none were receiving prophylaxis with a mold-active azole. This high burden of disease early after UCBT underscores the need for aggressive surveillance for fungal infections and the need for mold-active azole prophylaxis.
