Despite advances in management, infections with bacterial, viral, and fungal pathogens remain among the most common causes of mortality in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT). Performance gaps exist in the management of recurrent Clostridioides infections, prevention of cytomegalovirus infections, recognition of CMV infections as a risk factor for fungal infections, and management of hospital-acquired and ventilator-acquired bacterial pneumonia. This activity discusses evidence-based approaches to management of these infections in the HCT setting, with a particular emphasis on interdisciplinary management.
This activity is directed to infectious disease physicians, critical care physicians, hospitalists, surgeons, pathologists, hematologists/oncologists, pharmacists, and other healthcare providers responsible for the prevention and management of infections in the HCT setting. At the completion of this activity, the participant will be better able to:
