| Cohort | Between Oct 2005 and June 2009 all adult patients entered into the pathway were audited. A cohort of 549 high risk haematology and stem-cell transplant recipients was fol- lowed over a 5 year period. The routine standard of care involved the use of antimould prophy- laxis and a neutropenic care pathway utilizing twice weekly antigen and PCR testing. |
