Liposomal amphotericin B in neonates with invasive candidiasis.

Liposomal amphotericin B (L-Amp B), a novel formulation of amphotericin B, is effective for the treatment of invasive fungal infections in children and adults and is associated with less toxicity than the conventional preparation. Data on the use of Liposomal amphotericin B in neonates is scarce. We describe the clinical course of two premature infants who were treated with Liposomal amphotericin B (one infant had candidemia, and the other had candidemia and meningitis), and provide a summary of previously published experience on this topic. Liposomal amphotericin B may be an option for therapy of invasive candidiasis in neonates who are at high risk of nephrotoxicity and other amphotericin-related reactions, but clinical trials are necessary to document its safety and efficacy in this age group.
