Abstract
Tropical Gastroenterology 96 The duration of antifungal treatment is guided by the resolution of clinical and radiological features which may take 6 to 8 weeks. The recommended therapeutic drug level of posaconazole is a trough concentration of 1 μg/mL or higher4. Delayed presentation with inability to remove the infected intestinal segment and use of parenteral antifungal therapy alone in an immunocompromised patient might have led to fatality in our case. Therefore, a high degree of clinical suspicion, early diagnosis and prompt surgical debridement with anti -fungal therapy might improve survival.
