Focus on fungal infections

D S MacDougall. J Int Assoc Physicians AIDS Care. 1997 Jul.

Abstract

AIDS: New approaches to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of fungal infections were discussed at Focus on Fungal Infections in 1997. This article examines the use of early presumptive treatment for candida fungemia, the cause of and treatment for recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis, and the treatment and prevention practices for invasive aspergillosis. The efficacy of using amphotericin B lipid complex, amphotericin B in colloidal dispersion, and liposomal amphotericin B in patients with fungal infections is also discussed. Concluding comments address how serious a problem antifungal resistance is in choosing treatment regimens and the new and upcoming strategies for treating coccidioidomycosis in patients who are immunosuppressed.
