• Fluconazole-Resistant Infections: Serious invasive infections resistant to alternative antifungal drugs.

• Scedosporiosis and Fusariosis: Infections caused by rarer fungal species (Scedosporium spp. and Fusarium spp.), typically in patients who are intolerant to or have not responded well to other therapies.

• Prophylaxis: Prevention of invasive fungal infections in high-risk patients, such as those undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplants.
