Candida empyema is a serious complication of disseminated candidiasis. However, little is known about the intrapleural pharmacokinetics of echinocandins. We report the penetration of anidulafungin into the pleural fluid of a patient with Candida tropicalis empyema. The anidulafungin ratio for the area under the concentration-time curve from 0 h to the last measurement between pleural fluid and serum values was only 0.125 (12.5%), with pleural fluid concentrations ranging between 0.67 and 0.88 μg/ml.
念珠菌性脓胸是播散性念珠菌病的严重并发症。然而,关于棘白菌素类药物在胸腔内的药代动力学知之甚少。我们报告了 1 例热带念珠菌性脓胸患者中阿尼芬净在胸腔液中的渗透情况。胸腔液与血清值之间的 0 小时至最后测量时间的浓度-时间曲线下面积比值仅为 0.125(12.5%),胸腔液浓度范围为 0.67 至 0.88μg/ml。
