Efficacy of ravuconazole in treatment of systemic murine histoplasmosis.
    Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy, 2002, Volume: 46, Issue:3

    Ravuconazole (RCZ) was evaluated for efficacy in comparison to fluconazole (FCZ) and itraconazole (ITZ) in murine models of disseminated histoplasmosis. All regimens tested prolonged survival (P < 0.05 to 0.0001). At equivalent doses of 50 mg/kg of body weight, RCZ and ITZ were equally effective and RCZ was more effective than FCZ (P = 0.02). Clearance of fungal burden from the livers and spleens of mice showed RCZ and ITZ at doses of 50 mg/kg to be efficacious but not curative. These data indicate that RCZ should be studied further.
