Abstract: | Groups of mice infected intravenously with Candida albicans were treated intraperitoneally with amphotericin B, caspofungin, or fluconazole, starting at intervals before and after challenge. Survival was longest and tissue burdens were most reduced with early treatment, and survival times fell proportionately as treatment was delayed, reinforcing clinical recommendations for the earliest possible initiation of antifungal therapy. |
