Fungal infections need to be treated with appropriate antifungal drugs with adequate dosage and duration. Please avoid using panderm as it contains steroids and may aggravate your condition and make treatment difficult. You can continue using on abet cream upto 6wks. Also general hygiene like bathing twice, washing towel daily, ironing all clothes including underclothes is important. Do not share towels and soap with anyone.

black fungus/Mucormycosis is a serious disease. Liposomal Amphotericin B is best medicine but it is very costly & not available everywhere. Posaconazole is also very good drug. Improvement will depend upon disease Severity & stage.

Hi, My father-in-law was having fever from few days. After done with all reports, it was found that he is having some mass lump in his sinus. After getting that removed, he did the biopsy. This was the biopsy report -specimen biopsy left maxillary sinus clinical diagnosis? Fungal sinusitis gross description multiple soft tissues-0.3 to 0.5 cm, aggregate-1x1 cm. All in 1 block. Microscopic description section shows polypoidal sinus mucosa with many aseptate, broad happy with many aggregates of thin angled septate hyphae. Also seen are aggregates of pigmented spores and cannot like structures. Tissue invasion and necrosis is evident. No evidence of malignancy. Diagnosis biopsy left maxillary sinus- invasive mixed fungal infestation with fungi morphologically resembling mucormycosis, aspergillosis (fungal balls) and spores of pigmented fungi. Fungal culture correlation is required for exact subtyping of the various fungi. end of report all stained slides and paraffin blocks labeled h19/15568 returned along with report. Please preserve them carefully. Specimen will be discarded after one month of receiving of specimen. Our doctor suggested to go for amphotericin b injections for at least 21 days. My question is what is the dosage needs to be given and is it harmful, as he is diabetic? And how much gap is needed between 2 drips?

Amphotericin b for injection should be administered by slow intravenous infusion. An intravenous infusion should be given over a period of approximately 2 to 6 hours (depending on the dose) observing the usual precautions for intravenous therapy. The recommended concentration for intravenous infusion is 0.1 mg/ml (1 mg/10 ml).

I don't think vaginal suppository should affect you. Yet there is an alternative which you can apply. It is quite safe. Amfy v gel for vaginal application. For more details you can contact me.

The traditional treatment is with pentavalent antimonials such as sodium stibogluconate and meglumine antimoniate.
The treatment of choice for visceral leishmaniasis acquired in india is now amphotericin b in its various liposomal preparations.
Miltefosine is the first oral treatment for this disease.
