Liposomal Amphotericin B for the Treatment of Systemic Fungal Infections in Patients with Cancer: A Preliminary Study
Abstract
Twelve patients with hematologic malignancies complicated by fungal infections were treated with liposomal amphotericin B (L-AmpB). Nine patients were granulocytopenic; the three additional patients with normal granulocyte counts were immunosuppressed. All patients had biopsy findings or cultural evidence of the progression of their fungal infection while being treated with conventional amphotericin B. Doses of 0.8-1.0 mg/kg of L-AmpB were administered intravenously every 24-72 hr. Three patients had a complete remission, five had a partial remission, and four showed no improvements. A total of 161 doses of L-AmpB were administered. Fever and chills occurred on seven occasions. No hematologic or blood chemistry abnormalities related to L-AmpB treatment were observed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
