In view of the degenerating condition, amikacin was added to her treatment and liposomal amphotericin B was replaced with
Echinocandin (caspofungin acetate) at a dose of 50mg following a loading dose of 70mg, for suspected refractory Aspergillus infection.
Caspofungin recently became the first
echinocandin to win approval, for the treatment of aspergillosis, and probably soon will be approved for the treatment of candidemia, said Dr.
Similarly, as P&T committees try to reduce the number of therapeutically-equivalent antifungals on formulary, they tend to have one
echinocandin (i.
Data from this expanded surveillance are used to describe candidemia in these populations and to evaluate the emergence of
echinocandin resistance in C.
Disseminated trichosporonosis has been reported in immunocompromised patients under
echinocandin therapy.
The company is developing the product, a novel long-acting agent in the
echinocandin class of antifungals, for the treatment of systemic Candida infections, including candidemia and related cases of invasive candidiasis.
Contract award: tender for the supply of
echinocandin for systemic mycosis 74/2014
An intravenous antifungal of the
echinocandin class for treating candidemia and other forms of Candida infection (intraabdominal abscess, peritonitis, and esophageal candidiasis).
ERAXIS (anidulafungin) for Injection belongs to the
echinocandin class of antifungal drugs and is used to treat serious fungal infections caused by Candida, a yeast commonly found on the skin, in the digestive tract, or as a contaminant on medical equipment and devices.
However, subsequent analyses identified increases in
echinocandin-resistant and multidrug-resistant Candida infections during 2008-2012 (13); evaluation of the emergence of
echinocandin resistance in C.
Micafungin (Mycamine), an
echinocandin antifungal agent, is indicated for prophylaxis of Candida infections in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and for treatment of esophageal candidiasis.
