Tóm tắt

We describe a case of prolonged Katayama syndrome in an immunocompromised traveller. We highlight the difficulty of evaluating a cure due to persistent polymerase chain reaction (PCR) positivity and fluctuating markers. We discuss limitations of current diagnostic assays and advocate for improved access to reliable markers like the circulating anodic antigen test.
