To test this supposition, strategies to experimentally deplete Tregs in helminth-infected mice have been studied, showing more rapid parasite killing following depletion 54, 55.
That is probably because AmB-d remains the antifungal with the most rapid time-kill rate and the largest post-antifungal effect [ 14] and with efficacy that increases with its concentration [ 15].
67 LFAmB is used in a dose of 3 to 5 mg/kg daily in life-threatening mycoses, as well as for empirical treatment of suspected IC, or in situations where an antifungal agent with rapid time-kill rate and high post-antifungal effect is needed.
