    Area of Science:

    • Mycology and Infectious Diseases
    • Pharmacology and Toxicology

    Background:

    • Candidosis, a fungal infection caused by Candida species, poses a significant health concern.
    • Numerous animal models are available for evaluating antifungal drug efficacy across different infection sites.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the efficacy of ketoconazole in treating candidosis using established animal models.
    • To investigate the effectiveness of both oral and topical ketoconazole administration.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a variety of animal models simulating candidosis of the skin, gastrointestinal tract, genital system, and internal organs.
    • Administered ketoconazole both orally and topically to infected animals.
    • Employed scanning and transmission electron microscopy to visualize fungal eradication in host tissues.

    Main Results:

    • Ketoconazole demonstrated significant efficacy when administered orally, even at relatively low doses.
    • The antifungal effect was observed across all experimental candidosis models tested.
    • Electron microscopy confirmed the rapid eradication of Candida albicans from infected tissues following ketoconazole treatment.

    Conclusions:

    • Ketoconazole is a highly efficacious antifungal agent for treating candidosis in diverse animal models.
    • Oral ketoconazole provides a rapid and effective treatment option for systemic and localized Candida infections.
    • The findings support ketoconazole's potential as a therapeutic agent for candidosis in clinical settings.
