Abstract
The new therapeutic methods based on antibiotics, corticosteroids and immunosuppressors and the new medicosurgical techniques (catheters, monitoring in intensive-care units, open-heart surgery) modify the host, favorise the adaptation and introduction of endogenous and exogenous yeast-like fungi and thus create a new pathology characterized by deep visceral or septicemic infections due to yeasts belonging to the genera Candida, Torulopsis, Cryptococcus, Trichosporon, Rhodotorula, and Saccharomyces. The pathological aspects are analyzed and therapy is suggested in the light of new findings on polyenes (nystatine, amphotericine B), 5-fluorocytosine, imidazole, derivatives (miconazole, econazole) considering their association in function of synergy or antagonism possibilities.
