    Abstract Purpose of review: We provide an update on the recent literature on Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) in cancer patients.
    Recent findings: Distinguishing between colonization and infection remains challenging in cancer patients. Many patients with negative toxin analysis are still treated for CDI, and some meet criteria for severe cases. The incidence of CDI is high in cancer patients, especially those with haematological malignancies. Disruption of the gut microbiome due to antibiotic consumption, chemotherapy and radiotherapy is the primary factor contributing to CDI development. The severity of CDI in cancer patients is often unclear due to the absence of well-defined severity criteria. Certain microbiome species predominance and specific ribotypes have been associated with worse outcomes. Whole genome sequencing could be helpful for differentiating recurrence from reinfection and exploring potential nosocomial transmission. While certain new drugs such as fidaxomicin or bezlotoxumab show promise, the optimal treatment and prevention strategies for CDI in cancer patients remain uncertain. Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) holds potential for reducing CDI recurrence rates.
    Summary: Further studies are needed to provide robust recommendations for diagnosis, grading severity, and therapeutic management of CDI in cancer patients. Recurrences are particularly concerning due to subsequent exposition to CDI risk factors.

    Title translation Relevance of liposomal amphotericin B in the treatment of invasive fungal infections in patients with hematologic malignancies.
    Abstract Liposomal amphotericin B (L-AmB) has been a key cornerstone for the management of invasive fungal infections (IFI) caused by a wide array of molds and yeasts during the last three decades. Multiple studies performed over this period have generated a large body of evidence on its efficacy and safety, becoming the main antifungal agent in the management of IFI in patients with hematologic malignancies in several not mutually exclusive clinical settings. First, L-AmB is the most commonly used antifungal agent in patients undergoing intensive chemotherapy for acute leukemia and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome, as well as in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. Additionally, due to the administration of newer targeted therapies (such as monoclonal antibodies or small molecule inhibitors), opportunistic mold infections are increasingly being reported in patients with hematologic malignancies usually considered low-risk for IFI. These agents usually have a high drug-drug interaction potential, being triazoles, commonly used for antifungal prophylaxis, included. Finally, patients developing breakthrough IFI because of either subtherapeutic concentrations of antifungal prophylactic drugs in blood or selection of resistant strains, require broad spectrum antifungal therapy, usually with an antifungal of a different class. In both situations, L-AmB remains as the best option for early antifungal therapy.

    Title translation Current therapeutic options in invasive mycosis and potential therapeutic role of isavuconazole.
    Abstract The treatment of invasive fungal infections has deeply evolved in recent years with the inclusion of new antifungals to the therapeutic treatment arsenal. A new azole, isavuconazole, has been recently approved. This review focuses on the role of isavuconazole for treating the most important invasive fungal infections: invasive candidiasis, aspergillosis, mucormicosis, infections caused by other filamentous fungi and those caused by dimorphic fungi.

    Abstract Objectives: De-escalation (DES) from echinocandins to azoles is recommended by several medical societies in Candida infections. We summarise the evidence of DES on clinical and microbiological cure and 30-day survival and compare it with continuing the treatment with echinocandins (non-DES).
    Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science and Scopus. Studies describing DES in inpatients and reporting any of the outcomes evaluated were included. Pooled estimates of the tree outcomes were calculated with a fixed or random-effects model. Heterogeneity was explored stratifying by subgroups and via meta-regression. This systematic review is registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023475486).
    Results: Of 1853 records identified, 9 studies were included, totalling 1575 patients. Five studies stepped-down to fluconazole; one to voriconazole and three to any of azoles. The mean day of DES was 5.2 (4.6-6.5) days. The clinical cure OR was 1.29 (95% CI: 0.88-1.88); the microbiological cure 1.62 (95% CI: 0.71-3.71); and 30-day survival 2.17 (95% CI: 1.09-4.32). The 30-day survival data into subgroups showed higher effect on critically ill patients and serious-risk bias studies. Meta-regression did not identify significant effect modifiers.
    Conclusions: DES is a safe strategy; it showed no higher 30-day mortality and a trend towards greater clinical and microbiological cure.
