Successful medical treatment of cutaneous aspergillosis in a premature infant using liposomal amphotericin B, voriconazole and micafungin.

Journal Article (Journal Article)

Treatment options for primary cutaneous aspergillosis in neonates are limited by the lack of pharmacokinetic and safety data of newer antifungal agents that are effective against Aspergillus spp. We report the successful treatment of cutaneous aspergillosis in an extremely low-birth-weight preterm infant with liposomal amphotericin B, voriconazole and micafungin, and provide pharmacokinetic profiles for voriconazole and micafungin.
