These are from posters presented at a meeting in Aberdeen in October 2021 relevant to rapid fungal diagnostics & antifungal stewardship.
P356
- A retrospective review of the AFS at Leicester.
Absolute antifungal expenditure showed an annual decrease of
£320,600
P222
- A multi-site evaluation of antifungal use- implications for AFS. ''β-D-glucan utilization is greatest when turn-around-time is shortest''
P062
- Introduction of β-D-glucan testing.
Based on bringing 256 tests in-house there was a saving of
£75,000
in therapy.
