摘要
Bone marrow transplant (BMT) recipients are at increased risk of invasive fungal disease as a result of the profound neutropenia associated with transplantation, Amphotericin B lipid complex injection (ABLC, ABELCET) was developed to preserve the broad spectrum and fungicidal activity of conventional amphotericin B while avoiding its associated nephrotoxicity, ABLC was made available to physicians in an emergency-use program to treat seriously ill patients with advanced fungal infections who had failed to respond to previous systemic antifungal therapy (mostly amphotericin B), had experienced nephrotoxicity or severe acute toxicity due to amphotericin B or other drugs, or had pre-existing renal disease, Of 59 clinically evaluable BMT recipients with presumed or confirmed fungal infections, 31 (53%) responded to treatment: 23 (39%) were cured and eight (14%) improved, For 38 mycologically evaluable patients, pathogens were eradicated in 19 (50%), For 30 patients who began ABLC treatment with a serum creatinine >221 mu mol/l, significant reductions were observed at weeks 1 to 3 (P < 0.01) and 6 (P < 0.001), Trends in serum creatinine during ABLC therapy between autologous and allogeneic transplant recipients were similar, In summary, the results of this evaluation indicate that ABLC appears to be less nephrotoxic than conventional amphotericin B as well as an effective treatment for BMT recipients with presumed or confirmed fungal infections.
