Abstract
In order to develop new approaches to treatment of infections due to Pseudallescheria boydii, the in vitro antifungal activity of amphotericin B alone and in combination with miconazole, itraconazole, and fluconazole was studied. Combinations of amphotericin B and antifungal azoles were synergistic, additive, or indifferent in their interaction against P. boydii. Antagonism was not observed.Keywords
