Context:
- Opportunistic mycoses pose significant threats, especially in immunocompromised individuals.
- Antifungal drug development is crucial for managing invasive fungal infections.
- Imidazole antifungals represent a key class of therapeutic agents.
Purpose:
- To review available drugs for opportunistic mycoses.
- To present clinical experience with econazole in deep mycoses.
- To discuss the application, therapeutic limits, and prophylactic measures for antifungal treatments.
Summary:
- The review covers established antifungals like amphotericin B, nystatin, 5-fluorocytosine, and miconazole.
- The author details personal experience using econazole in four cases of deep mycoses.
- Key aspects discussed include drug administration, treatment efficacy, and preventive strategies against fungal infections.
Impact:
- Provides a comprehensive overview of antifungal therapies for opportunistic mycoses.
- Highlights the clinical utility and practical considerations of using econazole.
