- Abstract
- BACKGROUND: Appropriate use of antimicrobials for hematologic malignancy, hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients, and other cellular therapies is vital, with infection causing significant morbidity and mortality in this unique population of immunocompromised hosts. However, often in this population the choice and management of antimicrobial therapy is complex. When selecting an antimicrobial agent, key considerations include the need for dose adjustments due to renal or hepatic impairment, managing drug interactions, the potential for additive drug toxicity among those receiving polypharmacy and therapeutic drug monitoring. Other factors include leveraging pharmacodynamic principles to enable optimization of directed therapy against challenging pathogens, as well as judicious use of antimicrobials to limit drug resistance and adverse drug reactions. SUMMARY: This review summarizes the clinical considerations for commonly used antimicrobials in this setting, including antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal agents.
