(1→3)-β-D-glucan level: 49.1 pg/mL (94.4% reduction from peak of 880 pg/mL). Serum IL-6: 5.7 pg/mL (within normal limits; reference range <7.0 pg/mL). Concomitant resolution of fever and C-reactive protein normalization support presumptive clinical cure of invasive fungal infection. Systemic inflammatory response has significantly resolved, transitioning to the tissue remodeling phase of infection-related damage, cerebrospinal fluid culture was negative, the skin had healed, and consciousness recovered. The patient was transferred to the neurosurgery department for surgical treatment. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is infection.
