Abstract

We have evaluated and compared the efficacies of high doses of amphotericin B (AMB; 3 mg/kg of body weight/day), voriconazole (60 mg/kg), and posaconazole (PSC; 100 mg/kg) alone and combined in a murine model of disseminated infection by Fusarium oxysporum. The combination of AMB with PSC showed the best results, prolonging the survival of mice and reducing their organ fungal loads. This combination might constitute a therapeutic option for those infections where monotherapies fail.
