Patient's question:
Main symptoms: White patches in the mouthOnset date: 20090825
Laboratory test results: Fungal infection
Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Recurrent and persistent
Doctor's answer:
The test results are already very clear: it is a fungal infection. Based on your symptoms, it should be a Candida albicans infection. Fungal infections, especially in children with weakened immune systems, can indeed be difficult to treat. You can try medications like amphotericin B or ketoconazole, among other antifungal drugs. However, it is essential to use them appropriately, as these medications can have serious liver and kidney toxicity and may also lead to leukopenia.
