Pharmacokinetics of liposomal amphotericin B in pleural fluid.
ANTIMICROBIAL AGENTS AND CHEMOTHERAPY(2010)
Abstract
We report the penetration of liposomal amphotericin B into the pleural fluid of a patient with pulmonary zygomycosis and empyema. The ratio of area under the concentration-versus-time curve in pleural fluid (AUC(pleural fluid)) to that in serum (AUC(serum)) for liposomal amphotericin B over 24 h was 9.4%, with pleural fluid concentrations of 2.12 to 4.91 mu g/ml. Given the relatively low level of intrapleural penetration of liposomal amphotericin B, chest tube drainage may be warranted for successful treatment of zygomycotic empyema.
