[Tropmed-l] LV patiente 92y old

[Tomas Agustin Orduna]

Hello Giovanni: My experience with LV is at the moment very little, but I am thinking about the treatment to him. I think it is important not to put at risk with some risky drugs this old patient and try to be very cautious. I prefer Anfo liposomal with a close control of laboratory parameters (specially renal funtion)

Please tell us about the outcome !

Best regards

PS: In 1997 I had the great opportunity to know your hopsital and to learn about dengue with Dra Ana Maria Acevedo before we have the first outbreak in Argentina. I remember that time with an special acknowledgment.
