Current Research Interests
I am interested in the prevention and management of infectious complication in pediatric oncology patients. I am currently conducting a retrospective chart review of voriconazole vs. fluconazole for the prevention of invasive fungal disease after allogeneic stem cell transplant. I am also interested in developing a protocol for the management of low risk patients with fever and neutropenia.
