Abstract

ABSTRACT Our in vitro studies showed that a combination of amphotericin B and terbinafine had synergistic effects against the majority of melanized fungi associated with chromoblastomycosis (CBM) and similar infections, including those with Cladophialophora carrionii , Cladophialophora arxii , Exophiala dermatitidis , Exophiala spinifera , Fonsecaea monophora , Fonsecaea nubica , Fonsecaea pedrosoi , and Phialophora verrucosa. This drug combination could provide an option for the treatment of severe or unresponsive cases of CBM, particularly in cases due to species of Fonsecaea and Cladophialophora .
