Successful Rapid Desensitization To Micafungin In A Pediatric Patient
PEDIATRIC ALLERGY IMMUNOLOGY AND PULMONOLOGY(2021)
摘要
Introduction:Echinocandin antifungal medications including micafungin are being used more commonly in the treatment of invasive fungal infections in both pediatric and adult patients. Micafungin is also a first-line therapeutic option for candidemia and antifungal prophylaxis in a variety of clinical settings. Hypersensitivity reactions have not been well described; however, isolated cases have been reported. No cases of desensitization to echinocandins have been previously described. Case Presentation:In this report, we described a 14-year-old female with high-risk pre-B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia diagnosed with pulmonary aspergillosis. She developed a hypersensitivity reaction to micafungin, which was deemed first-line therapy for the infection. A rapid intravenous desensitization protocol was successfully completed without reactions. The patient completed the remaining 2 months of therapy without reactions. Conclusion:This report outlines the first report of a successful desensitization to micafungin or any echinocandin. This is a safe method of completing antifungal therapy in a patient with echinocandin hypersensitivity and may be considered for other patients with micafungin hypersensitivities.
