Prophylactic oral/topical non‐absorbed antifungal agents to prevent invasive fungal infection in very low birth weight infants

Uncertainty exists about the effect of prophylactic oral/topical non‐absorbed antifungals to reduce mucocutaneous colonisation and so limit the risk of invasive fungal infection in this population.
