title: Liposomal amphotericin B treatment in a 9-month-old liver recipient.
abstract: A 9-month-old boy with a suggested candidemia was treated with liposomal amphotericin B (AmBisome, Vestar) after a liver transplant due to an inherited glycogenosis (Pompe's disease). This is believed to be the youngest patient in which this new therapeutic agent has been utilized.
