Mathematical modeling of fungal infection in immune compromised individuals: The effect of back mutation on 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 with a mutation allowing the susceptible strain to become resistant as well as a back mutation allowing resistant fungus to again become susceptible. The resulting nonlinear differential equations model the biological outcome, in terms of...
