The purpose of this study was to describe fungal prophylaxis and IFI for children at our hospital.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The primary objective was to describe fungal prophylaxis for children with AML, relapsed ALL, and HSCT. Secondary objectives included describing prevalence of proven, probable, or possible fungal infections; type of fungal infection; and prevalence and type of adverse effects of fungal prophylaxis. This was a retrospective cohort study of children admitted to our hospital with AML, relapsed ALL, and HSCT between January 2015 and June 2019.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We included 105 patients with 263 inpatient visits. Eighty-three patients (79%) had fungal prophylaxis at all visits. Fungal prophylaxis was present at 91 (95%) inpatient visits for AML, 15 (21%) for relapsed ALL, and 87 (99%) for HSCT. Caspofungin was the most prescribed antifungal (86%). There were 4 patients each with proven and possible IFI and 11 patients with probable IFI, representing a prevalence of 18.1%. There were 10 patients with fungal infection in the lungs, 2 patients each in the liver and spleen, and 1 patient with disseminated fungal infection. There was a total of 283 adverse events in 79 (40.1%) patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The prevalence of IFI in this population is within range of what is reported from other countries.
