Core Tip |
Fungal infections post liver transplant remains the predominant source of morbidity and mortality despite the incidence being low. This is because of evasive clinical features coupled with difficulty to isolate and culture these pathogens. Therefore, appropriate patients are selected for prophylactic regimen based on specific risk factors to curb the rise of drug-resistant species. Traditional regimens include fluconazole or liposomal amphotericin with a shift towards echinocandins based on recently published and promising data. |
