Abstract:
Recognizing the common manifestations of pediatric fungal infections is a key part of any primary care practice. Of paramount importance is the clinical acumen of the physician. In this article, Drs Berg and Erickson discuss several types of fungal infections in children, identify tools for diagnosis, and outline the most effective options for treatment. Newer "off-label" therapies are also examined.
