Pulmonary Mucormycosis, Amphotericin B liposome, isavuconazole
Brief summary
Pulmonary mucormycosis (PM) poses a substantial clinical challenge, particularly among immunocompromised patients. The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of administering AmBisome at a dose of 5mg/kg/day combined with isavuconazole versus using AmBisome for the management of pulmonary mucormycosis
Interventions
Liposomal amphotericin B (AmBisome®) combination with Isavuconazole
Liposomal amphotericin B (AmBisome®) alone
