Comparative Study[Current treatment of candidemia in non-neutropenic patients. Amphotericin B or fluconazole? A retrospective study of 62 consecutive patients].
To analyze the epidemiologic characteristics of non-neutropenic patients with candidemia in a general hospital and the advantages and disadvantages of treatment with amphotericin B or fluconazole. ⋯ Both amphotericin B and fluconazole seem to be effective drugs for the treatment of vein catheter related candidemia in the non-neutropenic patient, although fluconazole is far less toxic. The early removal of the vein catheter plays a prognostic role with at least the same relevance than the type of antifungal therapy chosen.
