Successful treatment of chronic disseminated candidiasis with fluconazole and a granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor combination.
We report a case of chronic disseminated candidiasis in a patient with acute non-lymphoid leukaemia. After 12 months of combined therapy with fluconazole and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, lesions in the liver and spleen resolved completely. The patient has given birth to a healthy baby and has been in complete hematological remission for 3 years.
