Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

PET-CT

PET-CT: This is a before-and-after study (not a clinical trial) * in the case of fungemia, 2 weeks after the initial staging 18F-FDG PET-CT. * in the case of focal IFIs, 2-4 and 12 weeks after the initial staging 18F-FDG PET-CT

Study summary

The goal of this national multicenter prospective cohort study is to learn about the added value of 18F-FDG (18F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose) PET-CT in invasive fungal disease management. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Does the use of 18F-FDG PET-CT allow a better characterization of invasive fungal infection (IFI) (performance) compared to the exclusive use of conventional radiological studies in terms of extension/staging and monitoring of response/follow-up ?
2. Does the systematic and protocolized use of 18F-FDG PET-CT in IFI allow a better management of patients with IFI and increase the prognostic value of the initial evaluation? Participants will undergo systematically a 18F-FDG PET-CT as part of the work-up of their invasive fungal disease. Researchers will compare the performance of 18F-FDG PET-CT with standard management without 18F-FDG PET-CT to see if adds value (diagnostic, prognostic, and changes in management).

Inclusion criteria: * 18-year-old adult patients * who are admitted with a diagnosis of invasive fungal infection * who able to undergo a one 18F-FDG PET-CT * who give their informed consent. Exclusion criteria: * concomitant active bacterial infection likely to produce uptake in organs and tissues * recent surgery in the area of the IFI (in the previous 3 months) * other medical conditions that interfere with the development of the study ( e.g., inability to tolerate the performance of the test during the required time, pregnancy) * terminal situation.
