However, all signs and symptoms of the infection disappeared, without antifungal treatment, as soon as neutropenia and mucositis, both of short duration, resolved. Restoration of the patient's defense mechanisms was adequate for disappearance of the fungus from the patient's blood and full recovery. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: case study Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
