Posaconazole is the newest azole antifungal approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, and possesses a broad spectrum of activity against numerous yeasts and filamentous fungi. It is available as an oral suspension and is generally well tolerated by patients, but gastrointestinal absorption is sometimes inadequate and remains a clinical concern in treating deep-seated infections. It is used routinely and effectively for the prophylaxis of invasive fungal infections in immunosuppressed hosts and is an effective treatment of oropharyngeal candidiasis, including azole-resistant disease.
泊沙康唑是美国食品药品监督管理局批准的最新唑类抗真菌药物,对多种酵母和丝状真菌具有广泛的活性。它有口服混悬剂,一般患者耐受性良好,但胃肠道吸收有时不足,在治疗深部真菌感染时仍然是一个临床关注的问题。它被常规有效地用于免疫抑制宿主侵袭性真菌感染的预防,也是口咽念珠菌病(包括唑类耐药疾病)的有效治疗药物。
