[Amphotericin B resistant severe hepato-splenic candidiasis, responding to fluconazole, in a patient following bone marrow transplantation].

A 23 year old woman with Philadelphia-positive chronic granulocytic leukaemia underwent a 3/4 HLA identical bone marrow transplantation. During the neutropenic period, a septic condition developed which was caused by Candida albicans. Administration of Amphotericin B for 63 day was ineffective including an attempt to give the drug through the truncus coeliacus. Finally the sepsis disappeared during fluconazole treatment.
