In the current study, we evaluated the effects of a combination treatment consisting of inhalation of aerosolized liposomal amphotericin B (L-AMB) with intraperitoneal administration of micafungin (MCFG) against murine invasive pulmonary aspergillosis. The combination of aerosolized L-AMB with intraperitoneal MCFG significantly improved the survival rate, and the fungal burdens and histopathology findings after this treatment were superior to those of the control and both monotherapy groups., Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy, 53(8), pp.3508-3510; 2009}, pages = {3508--3510}, title = {Efficacy of combination antifungal therapy with intraperitoneally administered micafungin and aerosolized liposomal amphotericin B against murine invasive pulmonary aspergillosis.}, volume = {53}, year = {2009} }
