Table I summarizes the in-vitro susceptibilities of the 219 yeast isolates to voriconazole, LY303366, fluconazole, itraconazole, 5FC and amphotericin B. A broad range of MICs was observed with each antifungal agent for the various species tested. The in-vitro activity of voriconazole MIC90 0.12 mg L ; and LY303366 MIC90 0.25 mg L ; against the Candida spp.clinical isolatesstudied was excellent and was comparable with that of amphotericin B MIC90 0.5 mg L ; , and better than those of fluconazole MIC90 64 mg L ; , itraconazole MIC90 4 mg L ; and 5FC MIC90 1 mg L ; . Voriconazole showed good activity against C. albicans MIC90 0.12 mg L however, three isolates from this species had MICs of 16 mg L. These strains were recovered from the oral cavities of HIV-infected patients who had received previous treatments with fluconazole. These high MICs were not observed in isolates from the other Candida spp. Five Candida spp. strains four C. albicans and one C. glabrata ; had LY303366 MICs 2 mg L, and only one of these strains had elevated MICs for the rest of the antifungal agents tested. The MICs of fluconazole for 43 Candida spp. isolates were 64 mg L Table II ; . The MIC90 of voriconazole and LY303366 for all these strains was 0.25 mg L. C. tropicalis showed a voriconazole MIC90 of 0.03 mg L and an LY303366 MIC90 of 1 mg L.

Voriconazole and cryptococcus
Asahii isolates to amphotericin B, fluconazole, and itraconazole, whereas the new triazoles gave activity comparable to that seen against T. asahii Table 3 ; . Espinel-Ingroff 24, 25 ; reported results for T. beigelii that were similar to those reported by Arikan and Hascelik 2 ; and Paphitou et al. 75 ; for amphotericin B and the azoles and, in addition, showed the lack of activity of the echinocandins, caspofungin, and anidulafungin Table 3 ; . On the basis of the results of these in vitro studies, it appears that the azoles in general, and voriconazole and posaconazole in particular, have activities superior to that of amphotericin B. Similar to flucytosine, the echinocandins lack any useful activity against this organism. On the basis of the limited amount of data available at present, treatment of disseminated trichosporonosis in a persistently neutropenic patient should include an azole in conjunction with granulocytemacrophage colony-stimulating factor 26 ; . Rhodotorula spp. Species of Rhodotorula include Rhodotorula glutinis, R. mucilaginosa, R. rubra, and R. minuta. These yeastlike fungi are found as commensals in skin, nails, and mucous.

Amounts were spread on Sabouraud dextrose agar plates in duplicate. The plates were incubated at 35C for 24 h, and the numbers of CFU ml of culture were determined. A similar treatment without the drug was used as a growth control where applicable. Itraconazole R 51, 211, batch no. STAN-9304-005-1 ; , voriconazole, and amphotericin B batch no. 20-914-29670 ; were obtained from Janssen Pharmaceutica, Beerse, Belgium; Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, New York, N.Y.; and Squibb Institute for Medical Research, Princeton, N.J.; respectively. All antifungals were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide at concentrations of 1 mg ml and stored as 0.25-ml aliquots at 20C. The frozen stocks were thawed at room temperature and gently vortexed several times to ensure that any remaining crystals were completely dissolved before use. Drug concentrations ranging from 0 to 16 were used for MIC determinations. Comparable concentrations of dimethyl sulfoxide were tested to examine its effect on the growth of A. fumigatus. No detectable inhibition of growth occurred at the concentrations used. The MICs of amphotericin B, itraconazole, and voriconazole obtained for various Aspergillus and Candida species are shown in Table 1. As shown, all of the isolates used in this study were susceptible to low concentrations of amphotericin B MIC range, 0.02 to 4 g itraconazole MIC range, 0.031 to 4 g and voriconazole MIC range, 0.015 to 2 g The effects of amphotericin B, itraconazole, and voriconazole over a 24-h period on the ability of A. fumigatus W73355 conidia to produce colonies are shown in Fig. 1. The concentrations 1.25 to 10 g the drugs used for the kill curve studies were 2.5- to 20-fold higher than the MICs of the drugs for efficient killing. All three compounds at the concentrations used reduced the number of CFU with time in a dose-dependent manner, compared to the initial inoculum. For example, approximately 99% of the conidia were killed by amphotericin B at 5 Fig. 1A ; within 24 h. Under the same conditions, itraconazole at 5 g Fig. 1B ; provided 85% killing. Approximately 95% killing was obtained with voriconazole at 5 g Fig. 1C ; , suggesting that it has slightly better fungicidal activity than itraconazole but is not as efficient as amphotericin B. Figure 2 shows the effects of exposure of Candida albicans to amphotericin B, itraconazole, and voriconazole over a 24-h period. In contrast to the fungicidal activities of the three drugs.

The vasomotor centers are to be administered. We have very many of these vasomotor depressants but they should be selected with care. In many cases the alkaline salts and mineral remedies will be the best. Among the vegetable remedies are gelsemium, veratrum, aconite, phytolacca, quebracho, and grindelia. When the blood pressure is low, heat should be applied, the extremities may be bandaged and certain stimulants may be given. The author thinks that adrenalin is the most powerful of all drugs for this purpose. Digitalis is an important remedy, as is also stropanthus. Scoparius and spartein are also to be depended upon, under certain circumstances. The author, in conclusion, raises the question whether strychnin and digitalis are proper remedies to use in surgical shock. While there are arguments in favor of the fact that their influence has been detrimental in many cases, he believes that the clinical experiences prove their benefits in most cases.

CRITIQUE OF TRIALS IN ABPA AND FUNGAL ALLERGY Richard B Moss Department of Pediatrics, Stanford University, Palo Alto CA USA. Thursday, February 23, 2006, 3: - 3: 35 ABPA was recognized in 1952 in asthma and in 1965 in cystic fibrosis. Treatment protocols emerged from uncontrolled series of patients responding to regimes of oral glucocorticosteroids lasting several months. Oral steroids remain the mainstay of treatment, but dose regime and duration have never been standardized. Wang et al suggested an oral steroid regime based on experience with 25 patients with asthma-ABPA, and similar results were reported in 33 patients by Capewell et al.1, 2 Unfortunately, oral steroids in ABPA are problematic due to frequency of relapse after taper or discontinuation; lack of steroid effect on airway fungal burden; and toxicities, several of which are exaggerated in patients with CF due to their underlying disease, as well as a possible increased risk of non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection. Other therapies were tested in several small case series or uncontrolled trials in ABPA patients with underlying asthma or cystic fibrosis, and in prospective randomized doubleblind placebo-controlled trials of inhaled corticosteroids n 1 ; or oral itraconazole n 2 ; in patients with asthma-ABPA. While inhaled steroids have been used with apparent success in several case reports and small series, the only controlled study was unsuccessful.3 However this study employed beclomethasone in modest dose without spacers, and more recent positive reports employed higher doses, spacers and newer agents such as budesonide. Use of inhaled budesonide with itraconazole can lead to adrenal suppression due to itraconazole inhibition of hepatic cytochrome P4503A4. Case reports and uncontrolled series with improved treatment success upon addition of itraconazole to steroids were validated by a randomized controlled trial in 55 asthma-ABPA patients, in which more responders were found in the itraconazole group.4 A study in stable asthma-ABPA patients showed clinical benefit and an anti-inflammatory effect of itraconazole in that sputum eosinophils and eosinophil cationic protein as well as serum total IgE and Aspergillus IgG antibodies declined.5 In ABPA patients with CF, itraconazole has also been reported to be clinically beneficial in several uncontrolled studies. Despite combined use of oral steroids and itraconazole, ABPA relapses, and steroid dependence or toxicity, have led to examination of alternative agents in several small uncontrolled studies. Reports of nebulized amphotericin B in several patients with ABPA and CF suggest a potential benefit. Voriconazole has also been used with some success but also some toxicity. Both itraconazole and voriconazole have been used in some CF-ABPA patients as monotherapy with mixed results. A recent report described treatment of refractory CF-ABPA with monthly high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone, also with mixed results. No controlled trials of voriconazole, inhaled amphotericin, or intravenous pulse steroids have been published. Conclusions: 1. Systemic corticosteroids remain the mainstay of treatment, but have never been evaluated by randomized controlled trials, and toxicity is high. 2. Itraconazole is an effective steroid-sparing agent with anti-inflammatory aspects. 3. A possible role for inhaled corticosteroids, voriconazole, nebulized amphotericin, and pulse iv corticosteroids is suggested in case reports but there have been no controlled trials. 4. Future studies should focus on controlled trials of antifungal and immunomodulatory agents since conventional steroid therapy remains problematic and vortex.

The IOC Medical Commission, while pleased that the testing programme is decreasing the use of anabolic steroids, is nevertheless concerned that some athletes are attempting to cheat by administering testosterone, testosterone precursors and epitestosterone. Accordingly, the IOC Medical Commission recommends giving consideration to a medical examination together with endocrine tests and longitudinal studies to evaluate the possibility that testosterone or any other endogenous steroid has been administered. In order to assist in this evaluation the IOC accredited laboratories shall report every case to the proper authorities in accordance with the following criteria: A. B. negative, if the ratio is less than 6, or T E greater than 6 and actimmune.
