| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To determine concentrations of lipid-formulated amphotericin B in the epithelial lining fluid (ELF) compared to the plasma concentration of lipid-formulated amphotericin B in patients with fungal pneumonia ;Secondary Objective: To determine lung penetration of lipid-formulated amphotericin B administered in patients with fungal pneumonia. To detect relevant differences in lung penetration between the three amphotericin B lipid-formualtions ;Primary end point(s): Concentration of lipid-formulated Amphotericin B in epithelial lining fluid Concentration of lipid-formulated Amphotericin B in plasma Penetration of lipid-formulated Amphotericin B (AmBisome, Amphocil, Abelcet) into the lung (C elf/C plasma) | — |
