What is the treatment for fungi such as Candida spp and Aspergillus spp?
For fungi such as Candida spp and Aspergillus spp, the treatment consists of surgical resection plus amphotericin B with or without flucytosine. The amphotericin B can be administered intravenously over 3 - 4 hours, and then the patient can be given an imidazole (eg, fluconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole) orally for suppression if surgery is not possible. Alternatively, amphotericin liposomal/lipid-associated can be given in a single dose of 3 - 5 daily intravenously.
