Fungal Infections in AIDS Patients

Abstract

Fungal infection is one of the major opportunistic infections in patients with AIDS. Although candida is isolated most frequently, most infections are superficial and can usually be treated successfully with fluconazole. With long-term use of fluconazole, however, the emergence of fluconazole resistant C. albicans is becoming a clinical problem. © 1994, The Japanese Society for Medical Mycology. All rights reserved.
