What is Cresemba?

Cresemba is an azole antifungal used to treat invasive aspergillosis and invasive mucormycosis in adults. Invasive aspergillosis develops when the fungal infection spreads rapidly from the lungs to the brain, heart, kidneys, or skin. Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis typically occurs in people whose immune systems are weakened as a result of cancer chemotherapy, bone marrow transplantation, or a disease of the immune system. Invasive mucormycosis is a serious but rare fungal infection caused by a group of microorganisms called Mucorales. This infection also typically affects people with weakened immune systems, such as people who have had an organ transplant.

Drugs in the azole antifungals drug class contain an azole ring in their chemical structure, and they work by inhibiting the growth of different types of fungi.
