A study was performed to assess the in vivo relevance of the in vitro antagonism between fluconazole and amphotericin B against Candida albicans. Combinations of fluconazole and amphotericin B were explored for their efficacies against acute (100% mortality in 2 to 5 days) or less acute (100% mortality in 30 days) invasive candidiasis infections in mice with healthy immune systems and immunocompromised mice. Treatment efficacy was assessed by protection from mortality and/or a reduction in the fungal burden in tissue. In models of acute infection in mice with healthy immune systems or less acute infection in immunocompromised mice, combinations of fluconazole and amphotericin B were superior to fluconazole alone, and the effects were at least additive. Combination therapy was at least as efficacious as amphotericin B alone. In a different model of less acute infection in mice with healthy immune systems, combinations of fluconazole and amphotericin B showed no interactions and were no better than either drug alone. We conclude that combination therapy with fluconazole and amphotericin B is not antagonistic in vivo, in contrast to published in vitro studies, and, consequently, suggest that combination therapy should be considered in the management of clinical candidiasis.
