Mathematical modeling of fungal infection in immune compromised individuals: implications for drug treatment.

Abstract excerpt

We present a mathematical model that describes treatment of a fungal infection in an immune compromised patient in which both susceptible and resistant strains are present. The resulting nonlinear differential equations model the biological outcome, in terms of strain growth and cell number, when an individual, who has both a susceptible and a resistant population of fungus, is treated with a fungicidal or...
