Re: Thrush

Funny there's been recent conversation about overkill, but no one responded
to
your comment about using Fungizome for oral candidiasis.  I know its
approved for
treatment of thrush, but I have a hard time prescribing amphoterrible (even
if it
is in PO form) for such a mild infection.  I guess those images of
neutropenic
children on the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit suffering through rigors as we
tried
(often in vain) to treat their aspergillus infections, still haunts my
thoughts.

On a lighter note:  Two scary observations from the late summer early fall
rush of teenage well child visits.

1) Bell bottoms are back.

2) I actually think they look pretty cool.
