  • Title: Treatment of fungal infections in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus.
    Author: Sugar AM.
    Journal: Pharmacotherapy; 1990; 10(6 ( Pt 3)):154S-158S. PubMed ID: 2075115.
    Abstract:
    Mycoses due to a variety of organisms have been implicated as opportunistic pathogens in patients infected with HIV. These infections are a cause of significant morbidity and mortality, and most often require life-long antifungal medication to suppress reactivation of the fungal process. With the advent of newer antifungal drugs, such as fluconazole and itraconazole, options are available so that appropriate nontoxic, long-term therapy can be administered. As the number of HIV-infected people increases and their longevity is extended, fungi will continue to pose challenging problems in diagnosis and therapy.
