title: [The role of voriconazole in the treatment of emerging mycoses].
abstract: Voriconazole is a broad-spectrum antifungal drug belonging to triazoles class. Recently, it has been recommended for the treatment of invasive candidiasis in non neutropenic patients. In addition, this drug has showed clinical efficacy in the treatment of fungal infections caused by Candida species other than Candida albicans, and also in several other infections caused by less common fungi, such as Aspergillus terreus, Fusarium and Scedosporium.
