The therapeutic efficacy of three lipid formulations of amphotericin B was compared with that of conventional amphotericin B in treatment of murine coccidioidomycosis. All treatments prolonged survival compared with the no-treatment group (P < 0.0001). Although conventional amphotericin B was more active than lipid formulations on reducing quantitative fungal load on a milligram-per-kilogram basis (P < 0.003 to 0.0002), the lipid preparations could be administered at higher doses, sterilizing liver and spleen tissues. The efficacies of the lipid preparations were similar in this murine model of coccidioidomycosis.

D003045 Coccidioides A mitosporic fungal genus which causes COCCIDIOIDOMYCOSIS. Coccidioides immitis
D003047 Coccidioidomycosis Infection with a fungus of the genus COCCIDIOIDES, endemic to the SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES. It is sometimes called valley fever but should not be confused with RIFT VALLEY FEVER. Infection is caused by inhalation of airborne, fungal particles known as arthroconidia, a form of FUNGAL SPORES. A primary form is an acute, benign, self-limited respiratory infection. A secondary form is a virulent, severe, chronic, progressive granulomatous disease with systemic involvement. It can be detected by use of COCCIDIOIDIN.

D003102 Colloids Two-phase systems in which one is uniformly dispersed in another as particles small enough so they cannot be filtered or will not settle out. The dispersing or continuous phase or medium envelops the particles of the discontinuous phase. All three states of matter can form colloids among each other. Hydrocolloids,Colloid,Hydrocolloid
D004337 Drug Carriers Forms to which substances are incorporated to improve the delivery and the effectiveness of drugs. Drug carriers are used in drug-delivery systems such as the controlled-release technology to prolong in vivo drug actions, decrease drug metabolism, and reduce drug toxicity. Carriers are also used in designs to increase the effectiveness of drug delivery to the target sites of pharmacological actions. Liposomes, albumin microspheres, soluble synthetic polymers, DNA complexes, protein-drug conjugates, and carrier erythrocytes among others have been employed as biodegradable drug carriers. Drug Carrier

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
