Successful desensitization to liposomal amphotericin B for the treatment of disseminated cryptococcosis in pregnancy: a case report
The management of cryptococcosis in pregnancy is challenging due to the potential teratogenic effects of antifungals used and the limited therapeutic options available. This case highlights the complexities of treatment in pregnancy and demonstrates successful desensitization to liposomal amphotericin B during pregnancy.
