Abstract:
Patients with end-stage liver disease complicated by invasive fungal infection have poor tolerance, difficulties in pharmacotherapy, and high mortality. Invasive fungal infection in patients with end-stage liver disease should be taken seriously in clinical practice. Pathogen test should be performed as early as possible, and standard antifungal treatment should be started at the right time to improve prognosis.
