Preliminary Experience of Routine Voriconazole Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) in a Tertiary Care Centre.

The first goal of this study is to map all the subtherapeutic, therapeutic and supratherapeutic voriconazole plasma levels in the University Hospitals Leuven. The second objective is to optimize and validate guidelines for dose modifications in patients with too low or high plasma concentrations and to investigate if the same guidelines can be used in different patient populations.
