Comparative Study

Efficacy of fluconazole (UK-49,858) against experimental aspergillosis and cryptococcosis in mice

P F Troke et al. J Antimicrob Chemother. 1987 May.

Abstract

The efficacy of fluconazole, a new bis-triazole antifungal agent, was compared with that of orally administered ketoconazole and parenterally administered amphotericin B against aspergillus and cryptococcus infections in mice. Fluconazole was 5-20-fold more active than ketoconazole against systemic aspergillosis and against systemic, intracranial and pulmonary cryptococcosis but was less active than amphotericin B.
