Abstract:
Because intertriginous infections in patients receiving antileukemia chemotherapy may be life-threatening, all sites where skin contacts skin should be thoroughly examined daily. Early detection and immediate medical intervention designed to confine and cure the infection before it progresses to blood-borne dissemination of the infecting organisms are essential in these immunosuppressed patients.
