Abstract
- Itraconazole is a triazole compound which, following several clinical trials, has begun to be used for therapy of mycotic infections. This new drug, with a broad-spectrum antifungal activity, can be orally administered. The Authors studied the in vitro susceptibility to amphotericin B and itraconazole of the following clinical isolates of pathogenic yeasts: 100 Candida albicans, 20 C. tropicalis, 20 C. parapsilosis, 8 C. guilliermondii, 6 C. pseudotropicalis, 24 Torulopsis glabrata and 16 Cryptococcus neoformans.
