title: Clinical management of fungal infections.
abstract: Fungal infections require clinical and microbiological diagnosis for optimal therapy. Superficial mycoses often respond to topical agents but newer, less toxic drugs are available for systemic treatment when required. For invasive mycoses, amphotericin B remains the gold standard, with triozoles as the preferred oral agents.
