Fungal infections cryptococcal

A significant decrease in mortality from deep-seated mycoses was noted among bone marrow transplant recipients treated prophylactically with fluconazole, but similar benefits have not been seen in leukemia patients receiving prophylactic fluconazole. Fluconazole taken prophylactically by end-stage AIDS patients can reduce the incidence of cryptococcal meningitis, esophageal candidiasis, and superficial fungal infections. [Pg.599]

It is indicated in mucosal candidiasis, systemic candidiasis, crypttococcosis, prophylaxis of fungal infections following cytotoxic chemotherapy or radiotherapy maintenance to prevent relapse of cryptococcal meningitis in patients with AIDS sporotrichosis, histoplasmosis and vaginal candidiasis. [Pg.346]

Dizziness, headache, and seizures were seen in 2-5% of 232 patients with severe systemic fungal infections taking fluconazole (36). In the same group there were three cases each of delirium and dysesthesia (1.3%). A possible effect of the underlying illness has to be considered. In 14 patients treated with fluconazole for cryptococcal meningitis, dizziness was reported in 14% (SED-12, 681). [Pg.1379]

L-Amph is also approved for Cryptococcal meningitis in AIDS patients (recommended dose 6 mg/ kg/d), and in the treatment of other fungal infections with patients who were refractory and or intolerant to AmB or with baseline renal impairment (recommended dose 3-5 mg/kg/d) [182,190]. Different dose of ABLC have been compared to AmB in the treatment of cryptococcal meningitis however the risk of nephrotoxicity with ABLC was not convincingly lower than that with AmB [191]. [Pg.339]

Cryptococcus is the most common systemic fungal infection in AIDS patients and is usually in the form of meningitis due to C. neoformans. Cryptococcal meningitis, if untreated, progresses rapidly to death. Even with treatment, mortality rates remain unacceptably high at 50% [21]. [Pg.57]

Despite negligible cerebrospinal fluid concentrations, itraconazole shows promise in the treatment of cryptococcal and coccidioidal meningitis. Additional uses for itraconazole include treatment of vaginal candidiasis, tinea versicolor, dermatophyte infections, and onychomycosis. Fungal naU infections account for most use of this drug in the outpatient setting. [Pg.599]

In the case of opportunistic candidal infections in the immunocompromised patient, no prophylactic drugs have been shown to be effective. Prophylaxis against other fungi may be effective in some instances, including suppression of cryptococcal meningitis in AIDS patients with fluconazole. However, prophylactic use of azoles may be contributory to the development of fungal resistance. The answer is (E). [Pg.425]
