Abstract

The different antifungals currently used in pulmonary mycoses consist of polyene antibiotics, the antimetabolite 5-fluorocytosine, and azole derivatives. The pharmacologic profiles, mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetics, clinical indications for use, dosage recommendations, side effects, and drug interactions for these agents are presented.
