    Invasive fungal infections (IFIs), mainly due to pulmonary aspergillosis, are considered a serious complication in acute leukaemia, with an unfavourable impact on patient. In this well‐conducted retrospective study, Reynolds et al. suggest that the use of posaconazole prophylaxis in association with venetoclax plus hypomethylating agents or chemotherapy leads to a reduction of IFI incidence. Therapeutic drug monitoring of posaconazole levels is suggested, even if no correlation with IFI risk has been demonstrated. Commentary on: Reynolds et al. Invasive fungal infection following venetoclax and posaconazole co‐administration. Br J Haematol 2023;203:593‐598.
