case_images: The illness lasted for nearly a month, with intermittent periods of temperature improvement followed by relapse (Figure 1A). Since 15 days after the transplantation, the patient experienced yellow mushy stool, with a frequency of 1-3 times per day (Figure 1A), totaling approximately 200ml. Liver enzyme/bilirubin tests during this period remained within the normal range (Figure 1C). What's more, gram stain examination of the stool showed yeast-like fungal spores, but no hyphae were observed (Supplementary Figure 1).
