Comprehensive blood tests, including assessments of complete blood count, liver function, kidney function, T lymphocyte subset count, G-test (1,3-\u03b2-D-glucan test), GM-test (Galactomannan test), and\n Cryptococcus<\/jats:italic>\n test (\n Cryptococcal<\/jats:italic>\n capsular polysaccharide antigen test), all returned normal results.
