Efficacies of fluconazole (FLCZ) were evaluated in 8 cases of systemic mycosis (1 case each of candidemia, candiduria, 4 cases of pulmonary candidiasis, and 2 cases of suspected fungemia) complicated in immunocompromised children. Enrolled in the study were 3 patients with acute leukemia, 1 with malignant lymphoma, 2 with congenital immunodeficiency syndrome, 2 with other disorders. The clinical efficacies were good in 6 out of 7 cases. No side effects were observed. FLCZ is a very good and safe agent for the treatment of systemic mycosis complicated with immunocompromised children.
