Invasive fungal infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients receiving treatment for Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML). Herein, we report a case of a 21 year old woman with an extremely resistant Fusarium species that responded to the addition of interferon gamma to her medical therapy, subsequently allowing definitive debulking surgery of her invasive Fusarium infection to be undertaken.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
