Hosp Med. 2004 Feb;65(2):76-9. doi: 10.12968/hosp.2004.65.2.12063.

Abstract

With the relentless increase in invasive fungal infections, particularly in critically ill and immunocompromised patients, it is good to know that there are new additions to the antifungal armamentarium. These include not only new formulations of existing drugs and the development of new triazole agents, but also the introduction of a new class of antifungal drug.
