IL-7 Immunotherapy in a Non-Immunocompromised Patient with Intractable Fungal Wound Sepsis
Keyword(s):
Abstract A non-immunocompromised patient developed life-threatening soft-tissue infection with Trichosporon asahii, Fusarium, and Saksenaea that progressed despite maximum anti-fungal therapies and aggressive debridement. IL-7 immunotherapy resulted in clinical improvement, fungal clearance, reversal of lymphopenia, and improved T-cell function. Immunoadjuvant therapies to boost host immunity may be efficacious in life-threatening fungal infections.
