This study describes the safety and efficacy of amphotericin B
lipid complex (ABLC) in 11 neonates with systemic
Candida infections. Nine of the 11 improved
clinically, and eight of nine evaluable patients had a mycological cure
with ABLC. Creatinine levels improved or did not significantly change
in eight of the 11 patients.
Keywords: Candida; neonate; amphotericin B lipid complex
