This review provides a brief overview of the current state of systemic antifungal therapy. Currently licensed drugs, including amphotericin B ant its lipid derivates: 5-fluorocytosine; the azoles, including fluconozole, itraconazole, and voriconazole; and a representative of the new class of echinocandin (micafungin and anidulafungin) that are likely to be licensed in the United States in the next years are also addressed. The antifungal spectra of each agent are presented on table 1, and recommended dosages are summarized on table 2. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
