fluconazole as first line of fungal infection

fungal infection always been ignored, it happened more common than it has been detected
this is because medical personal does not suspect it, and it is difficult to be cultured.

thus some studies suggest that to start fluconazole empirically in high risk patients (as noted in upper Left conner). it is daily dose, and so far is 1 of the safest drugs

the evidences of the studies shown in another 3 charts. it will reduce mortality for at least 50%
but beware not all candida will respond to fluconazole, eg candida kruzei that need better antifungus..
