摘要
This article reviews appropriate dosing for antifungals and emphasizes factors specific to the critically ill patient, along with drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. The rationale for doses of the echinocandins (caspofungin, micafungin, anidulafungin), triazoles (fluconazole, voriconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole), amphotericin B (including lipid formulations), and flucytosine are discussed. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
