Outcome and follow-up:
On 16th day of hospital stay patient was discharged home with normal hematological laboratory parameters and slightly deranged renal function (creatinine of 3.1 mg/dl). Patient was sent home on Amphotericin B for candidemia. He had no disability on discharge. Upon clinic visit after 10 days, his renal function had improved to 2.1 mg/dl, with hemoglobin of 9.5 g/dl and platelets of 265,000/µL. His LDH and liver function tests had also normalized and he was allowed to resume his work. Figure 2 and Figure 3 show the trend of hemoglobin, platelets, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and schistocytes percentage over the course of hospital stay as well as on follow-up. Patient’s creatinine had decreased to 1.0 mg/dl and hemoglobin had increased to 11.9 g/dl after 3 weeks of discharge.
