D009503	Neutropenia	A decrease in the number of NEUTROPHILS found in the blood.	Neutropenias
D010456	Peptides, Cyclic	Peptides whose amino acid residues are linked together forming a circular chain. Some of them are ANTI-INFECTIVE AGENTS; some are biosynthesized non-ribosomally (PEPTIDE BIOSYNTHESIS, NON-RIBOSOMAL).	Circular Peptide,Cyclic Peptide,Cyclic Peptides,Cyclopeptide,Orbitide,Circular Peptides,Cyclopeptides,Orbitides,Peptide, Circular,Peptide, Cyclic,Peptides, Circular
D005334	Fever	An abnormal elevation of body temperature, usually as a result of a pathologic process.	Pyrexia,Fevers,Pyrexias
D006801	Humans	Members of the species Homo sapiens.	Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000077336	Caspofungin	A cyclic lipopeptide echinocandin and beta-(1,3)-D-glucan synthase inhibitor that is used to treat internal or systemic MYCOSES.	Cancidas,Caspofungin Acetate,Caspofungin MSD,L 743,872,L 743872,L-743,872,L-743872,MK 0991,MK-0991,L743,872,L743872,MK0991
D000666	Amphotericin B	Macrolide antifungal antibiotic produced by Streptomyces nodosus obtained from soil of the Orinoco river region of Venezuela.	Amphocil,Amphotericin,Amphotericin B Cholesterol Dispersion,Amphotericin B Colloidal Dispersion,Fungizone
D000935	Antifungal Agents	Substances that destroy fungi by suppressing their ability to grow or reproduce. They differ from FUNGICIDES, INDUSTRIAL because they defend against fungi present in human or animal tissues.	Anti-Fungal Agents,Antifungal Agent,Fungicides, Therapeutic,Antibiotics, Antifungal,Therapeutic Fungicides,Agent, Antifungal,Anti Fungal Agents,Antifungal Antibiotics
D054714	Echinocandins	Cyclic hexapeptides of proline-ornithine-threonine-proline-threonine-serine. The cyclization with a single non-peptide bond can lead them to be incorrectly called DEPSIPEPTIDES, but the echinocandins lack ester links. Antifungal activity is via inhibition of 1,3-beta-glucan synthase production of BETA-GLUCANS.	Aculeacin,Echinocandin,Pneumocandin,Aculeacins,Mulundocandins,Pneumocandins
D055666	Lipopeptides	Compounds consisting of a short peptide chain conjugated with an acyl chain.	Lipopeptide,Anionic Lipopeptide,Anionic Lipopeptides,Cationic Lipopeptide,Cationic Lipopeptides,Lipopeptide, Anionic,Lipopeptide, Cationic,Lipopeptides, Anionic,Lipopeptides, Cationic
