Response to antifungal therapy in invasive candidiasis is often more rapid than for endemic fungal infections. Resolution of fever and sterilization of blood cultures are indications of response to antifungal therapy. Toxicity associated with antifungal therapy is similar in these patients as described earlier with the caveat that some toxicities maybe more pronounced in crit-ically-ill patients with invasive candidiasis. Nephrotoxicity and electrolyte disturbances, with amphotericin B in particular, are problematic and may not be avoidable even with lipid amphotericin B formulations. Fluconazole and echinocandins are generally safer options, and are generally well tolerated. Decisions to use one class of agents over the other is principally driven by concerns of non-albicans species, patient tolerability, or history of prior fluconazole exposure (risk factor for non-albicans species.). [Pg.1223]

Select azole antifungals (e.g., itraconazole, voriconazole, and posaconazole) and the echinocandins are available for IA treatment. For initial therapy of IA, voriconazole had higher response and survival rates than c-AMB.102 An advantage of voriconazole is its 96% oral bioavailability, making use of this oral drug an attractive and less expensive alternative. The dose of voriconazole was 6 mg/kg IV every 12 hours for two doses, followed by 4 mg/kg IV every 12 hours for at least 7 days, at which time oral voriconazole 200 mg every 12 hours could be administered. Common toxicities reported with voriconazole include infusion-related, transient visual disturbances (i.e., blurred vision, altered color perception, photophobia, and visual hallucinations), skin reactions (i.e., rash, pruritus, and photosensitivity), elevations in hepatic transaminases and alkaline phosphatase, nausea, and headache.102 In addition, voriconazole increases the serum concentrations of medications cleared by cytochrome P-450 2C9, 2C19, and 3A4 (e.g., cyclophosphamide and calcineurin inhibitors) concomitant voriconazole-sirolimus should be avoided.103... [Pg.1462]

The echinocandins have a unique target for their antifungal activity—specifically, (5-1,3-glucan synthase, an enzyme that produces an important component of the fungal wall. Caspofungin is currently the only product of this class that is FDA approved it is indicated for treatment of IA refractory... [Pg.1462]
