title: Combined activity of ketoconazole and 5-fluorocytosine on potentially pathogenic yeasts.
abstract: In vitro studies based on periodic viable count determinations indicated that the two antifungal drugs ketoconazole and 5-fluorocytosine generally were at least additive in their combined effect on various opportunistic yeast pathogens, including some resistant to 5-fluorocytosine.
