NCT ID NCT06900114

First seen Mar 20, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study looked at 60 blood cancer patients who had a stem cell transplant and later developed a serious fungal infection called mucormycosis. Researchers compared cases before COVID-19 (2015-2020) and during the pandemic (2020-2024) to see how the virus, new tests, and treatments changed the infection's impact. The goal is to improve how doctors manage this rare but dangerous infection in transplant patients.
