[Fluconazole treatment of systemic mycoses].
Efficacies of fluconazole, a new triazole antifungal agent, were evaluated in 11 cases of systemic mycoses (1 case each of candiduria, pulmonary cryptococcosis, pulmonary aspergillosis, pulmonary penicilliosis and suspected fungal pulmonary infection, and 3 cases each of candidemia and Candida endophthalmitis). The clinical efficacies were excellent or good in 8 out of 9 cases and poor in 1. Side effects observed were mild with 1 incident each of gastrointestinal symptom and reversible leukopenia. This drug appears to be promising in treatment of systemic mycoses.
