Acute, rapidly progressive renal failure with simultaneous use of amphotericin B and pentamidine

D Antoniskis et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1990 Mar.

Abstract

We report four cases of acute reversible renal failure in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome who received both amphotericin B (for systemic mycoses) and pentamidine isethionate (for Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia). The concurrent use of amphotericin B with either inhaled pentamidine or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole did not cause significant renal impairment.
