Abstract
Data on invasive mold infections (IMIs) after chimeric antigen receptor-modified T-cell (CAR-T-cell) therapy are limited. We describe 2 patients with post-CAR-T-cell IMI (Fusarium, Mucorales) and review the published literature. We propose strategies to prevent IMIs in patients, based on the IMI rate and presence of neutropenia or steroid use.Entities:
