Voriconazole was compared to amphotericin B, fluconazole, and itraconazole by using an in vitro macrobroth dilution test based upon current National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards tentative standards against the dimorphic fungi and several opportunistic molds and yeasts. In all instances, the voriconazole MICs were lower than those of fluconazole. In most instances, the MICs were lower than the recorded MICs of amphotericin B and itraconazole.
