The purpose of this multi-center international study is to determine the safety profile and effects of voriconazole to treat different kinds of serious fungal infections in children. Researchers are investigating voriconazole as primary therapy for treatment of invasive aspergillosis and molds such as scedosporium or fusarium species in pediatric patients.
