Eight months after the end of itraconazole treatment, the child suffered a relapse, resulting in re-administration of longterm treatment. [popline.org]

It is worth considering this pathology at least for three reasons: it usually mimicks a malignant jaw tumor; it may constitute a migrant pathology; and prognosis is commonly favorable with amphotericin B treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Disseminated disease has a grave prognosis, especially if the liver and spleen are involved. Amphotericin B, itraconazole or fluconazole are the drugs of choice [6, 36, 1690, 2302]. [drfungus.org]
