Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis. 1994 Jul;13(7):609-12. Unique
An AIDS patient with sporotrichosis who improved with itraconazole
therapy after consecutive failure of ketoconazole, saturated solution of
potassium iodide, fluconazole and amphotericin B is presented. In
addition, long-term therapy with high doses of itraconazole was well
tolerated and effective in avoiding relapse. Itraconazole may be
suitable for use in HIV-infected patients with sporotrichosis, who
probably require chronic suppressive therapy to prevent relapse of
symptomatic disease.
