Oral fluconazole in the treatment of pulmonary cryptococcosis in non-AIDS patients.
1996
Four non-AIDS patients with pulmonary cryptococcus infection who could not tolerate amphotericin B treatment were given oral fluconazole at a dose of 600mg once daily for 4-5 weeks followed by 400mg once daily for 10-12 weeks resulting in cure. All patients did not have relapse of disease when followed-up for 8-24 months after cessation of treatment. The very good tolerance of oral fluconazole by these patients suggests that such effective monotherapy should be evaluated further in non-AIDS patients with pulmonary cryptococcosis
