Liposomal Amphotericin B Associated With Severe Hyperphosphatemia. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
Pediatr Infect Dis J 2008 Jan; 27(1):77-79.

Resolution of the hyperphosphatemia occurred after transition to amphotericin B lipid complex. This phenomenon may occur more commonly in patients with mild to moderate renal insufficiency.
