title: Therapeutic efficacy of a composition of amphotericin B and dialdehyde dextran in kidney damage in mice of various strains with systemic candidiasis.
abstract: The therapeutic efficacy of a composition of amphotericin B and dialdehyde dextran was much higher than that of amphotericin B in the therapy for systemic candidiasis. This conclusion was derived from the earlier and progressive decrease in the number and size of candidal granulomas in the kidneys. The composition of amphotericin B and dialdehyde dextran was more potent than amphotericin B in decreasing the nephrotoxic effect of C. albicans. The opposite strains of CBA and C57Bl/6 mice differed in morphological signs of granulomatosis in the kidneys, but not in the nephrotoxic effect of C. albicans metabolites.
