A prospective study would involve following the case series over time to evaluate the disease's natural history.
But that, she said in a telephone interview, was "a case series, a bunch of cases where you happen to find the circumstances."
The data is mostly limited to animal models and case series.
A small case series reported good outcomes with voriconazole (1270).
Impotence is common in the reported case series, ranging from about 47% to 100%.
One case series reports a rate of 1 in 120 cases.
If this is successful, the case series will become the occasional rather than the common form of surgical communication.
But the case series will always represent one important tool for early studies or uncommon conditions.
In the past 25 years, a number of case series on adults have been published.
Reports of case series usually contain detailed information about the individual patients.
