摘要
Objective To compare the curative effects of three different antifungal regimens in the treatment of cryptococcal meningitis Methods Twenty two patients were divided into 3 groups: Group Ⅰ was given intravenous amphotericin B alone or combination with flucytosine therapy Group Ⅱ received intravenous fluconazole alone or combination with flucytosine The treatment of Group Ⅲ was divided into two steps, where the patients received intrathecal amphotericin B plus intravenous amphotericin B with or without intravenous fluconazole until the mycological culture of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) turned negative, followed by oral fluconazole or itraconazole as maintenance therapy until direct microscopic examination of CSF showed negative once a week for three consecutive weeks Results Of the twenty two patients, 17 (77 3%) were cured, 2 (9 1%) improved, 3 (13 6%) died, and one (4 5%) relapsed Of the 8 patients in Group Ⅰ, 5 were cured, 2 improved, one died and one relapsed; Of the 4 patients in Group Ⅱ, 2 were cured, and 2 died; All the 10 patients in Group Ⅲ were cured without any recurrence Conclusion The two step therapeutic regimen may be suited to the treatment of cryptococcal meningitis
