Abstract
Despite the development of various guidelines, the approach to
antifungal treatment in stem cell transplantation centers differs
according to country or even between centers. This led to the
development of another survey that aims to understand the antifungal
treatment policies of Turkish stem cell transplantation centers.
Although there has been an increasing trend towards the use of
diagnostic-based treatments in Turkey in the last few years, empirical
treatment is still the main approach. The practices of the stem cell
transplantation centers reflect the general trends and controversies in
this area, while there is a considerable use of antifungal combination
therapy.
