Plasma and target-site (ascites, pleural effusion, bile and cerebrospinal fluid) concentrations of amphotericin B preparations will be measured in critically ill patients, requiring treatment with a amphotericin b preparation and requiring pleuracentesis, abdominal paracentesis, lumbar puncture or bile sampling for diagnostic or therapeutic reasons, to determine penetration of the drugs to target site.
