flucytosine and Candidiasis, Invasive

flucytosine has been researched along with Candidiasis, Invasive in 6 studies

Flucytosine: A fluorinated cytosine analog that is used as an antifungal agent.
flucytosine : An organofluorine compound that is cytosine that is substituted at position 5 by a fluorine. A prodrug for the antifungal 5-fluorouracil, it is used for the treatment of systemic fungal infections.

Candidiasis, Invasive: An important nosocomial fungal infection with species of the genus CANDIDA, most frequently CANDIDA ALBICANS. Invasive candidiasis occurs when candidiasis goes beyond a superficial infection and manifests as CANDIDEMIA, deep tissue infection, or disseminated disease with deep organ involvement.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Fluconazole is the only antifungal agent having the pharmacodynamic threshold of efficacy identified in experimental animal models convincingly validated in the clinical setting of invasive candidiasis as well."2.66From bench to bedside: Perspectives on the utility of pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics in predicting the efficacy of antifungals in invasive candidiasis. ( Pea, F, 2020)
"Invasive candidiasis is rare in children after the neonatal period, but can occur in children with (secondary) immunodeficiency with a damaged gastrointestinal or skin barrier, or when receiving antibiotics."1.37Osteoarticular infection by Candida albicans in an infant with cystic fibrosis. ( Abele-Horn, M; Beer, M; Hebestreit, H; Kunzmann, S; Radike, K, 2011)
