"Neuromeningeal cryptococcosis and pulmonary tuberculosis are respectively serious mycotic and bacterial infections occurring in a subject regardless of its HIV serological status."1.72[Neuromeningeal cryptococcosis in an HIV-negative patient with pulmonary tuberculosis in the Infectious and tropical diseases department of the University teaching hospital Point G of Bamako, Mali]. ( Alle Akakpo, AE; Cissoko, Y; Dao, S; Konaté, I; Loua, OO; Ouedraogo, D; Soumaré, M, 2022)
"Antifungals used for treating candidemia were (no IDC/IDC): azoles (74%/42%); echinocandins (0%/46%); liposomal and lipidic complex amphotericin B (0%/12%)."1.48Impact of infectious diseases consultation as a part of an antifungal stewardship programme on candidemia outcome in an Italian tertiary-care, University hospital. ( Barnini, S; Bertolino, G; Carmignani, C; Dal Canto, L; Desideri, I; Menichetti, F; Ripoli, A; Rosselli Del Turco, E; Sbrana, F; Sozio, E; Tagliaferri, E; Tascini, C, 2018)
" However, important issues for improvement could be identified, such as increasing the dosage and duration of treatment in cases of serious infections, and withholding treatment from patients with colonization rather than infection."1.31Use of fluconazole in daily practice: still room for improvement. ( Hekster, YA; Kullberg, BJ; Meis, JF; Natsch, S; Steeghs, MH; van der Meer, JW, 2001)
