[Antimycotic therapy].
Because deep opportunistic mycoses are relatively rare, clinicians frequently lack routine in the application of antimycotics. It is the purpose of this review to summarize, from a practical point of view, rationale, indications, applications and toxicity of antimycotic therapy for the mycoses autochthonous to Europe. Amphotericin B remains the standard therapy for most deep opportunistic mycoses, while the newer azoles are the first line agents to be used for superficial forms of candidiasis.
