  • Title: Use of liposomal amphotericin B in the treatment of disseminated coccidioidomycosis.
    Author: Antony S, Dominguez DC, Sotelo E.
    Journal: J Natl Med Assoc; 2003 Oct; 95(10):982-5. PubMed ID: 14620712.
    Abstract:
    Disseminated fungal infection is an important cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in immunocompromised hosts. Amphotericin B is an important part of the therapy and treatment of invasive and life-threatening mycoses. We present a case of disseminated coccidioidomycosis in a patient who was successfully treated with liposomal amphotericin B (AmBisome) on steroid therapy. It appears that liposomal amphotericin B may offer an alternative and safe option in the treatment of coccidioidomycosis when conventional amphotericin B cannot be used.
