Question |
Dear poc, the last time i asked you what was the normal csf cytology and biochemistry values for a neonate( TERM/PRETERM)..it was answered very confusingly and imcompletely. Please let me know the complete answer this time with some referrence also if possible. 2) my next question is whether we can use itraconazole for candida sepsis rather than amphotericin?? considering the latter's side effect profile is itraconazole a good alternative for use?

Answer |
For candida septicemia, the drug of choice is amphotericin B. Itraconazole or Fluconazole can be used in case of oral thrush or GI esophagitis.
