Investigation of the Efficacy of Micafungin in the Treatment of Histoplasmosis Using Two North American Strains of Histoplasma capsulatum

Year: 2011
Type: article
Abstract: Micafungin alone and combined with liposomal amphotericin B was evaluated against two strains of Histoplasma capsulatum. Micafungin was active in vitro against the mold but not the yeast form but was ineffective in vivo. Micafungin appears to be ineffective in treatment of histoplasmosis.
