BACKGROUND: Liver transplantation is the most effective treatment for @entity3851 ; however, @entity281 after transplantation can seriously affect the @entity1 's health. The aim of this research was to investigate the diagnosis and treatment of @entity364 following liver transplantation. METHODS: Clinical data for 232 liver transplant @entity1 at risk of @entity364 were examined for the presence of fungus in the blood, fluid, sputum, urine and stools of @entity1 and by chest or abdominal CT scans. @entity1 diagnosed with a @entity364 were treated with @entity2380 or, if this was not effective, @entity5074 or @entity2379 . Immunosuppressive therapy was also reviewed. RESULTS: Thirty-seven of 232 (15.9%) @entity1 were diagnosed with a @entity364 , which occurred 4 to 34 days post-transplantation. @entity6923 were diagnosed in 23 cases (62.2%) and @entity281 in 12 cases (32.4%). Twenty-one cases were effectively treated with @entity2380 , 11 cases with @entity5074 , and two cases with @entity2379 ; however, three cases were not effectively treated with any of the antifungal agents. Overall, treatment was effective in 91.9% of @entity1 . CONCLUSIONS: @entity364 has a significant influence on survival rate after liver transplantation. Imaging studies, and pathogenic and biopsy examinations can diagnose @entity364 , which can be effectively treated with antifungal agents such as @entity2380 , @entity5074 or @entity2379 .
