Abstract

Antifungal therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is recommended for hospitalized patients receiving itraconazole, posaconazole, or voriconazole for treatment or prophylaxis. In this analysis of hospital-based data, TDM was uncommonly performed (15.8%) in a large cohort of eligible patients, suggesting missed opportunities to avoid subtherapeutic drug levels and minimize toxicity.
