dc.description.abstract | Fever, a frequent manifestation in acute leukaemia patients who develop treatment-induced neutropenia, usually resolves when the neutrophil count returns to normal irrespective of whether an infective agent is isolated or not. A persistent pyrexia following neutrophil recovery and associated with multiple negative microbiological cultures should signal a careful search for a deep-seated fungal infection in any leukemic patient who is in complete remission. We report here a 39-year-old Chinese man with acute myeloid leukaemia in first complete remission whose unresolved fever after recovery from consolidation therapy-induced neutropenia was ultimately confirmed to be caused by focal hepatic candidal microabscesses by an open liver biopsy. | |
