Standard dosing of antifungals are based on patient PK, fungal pathogen PD, and ideal PK-PD targets... #ECCMID2023
Translational research model for antifungal drug development involves pre-clinical PK-PD target determination followed by clinical trials... #ECCMID2023

Vaginal yeast infection or vulvovaginal candidiasis usually occurs when the healthy yeast that usually lives in your vagina grows out of control.
9 out of every 10 women will have a yeast infection at some point in their life.

What causes yeast infection?
1. Use of antibiotics (which lowers the amount ofĀ #lactobacillus, the good bacteria in the vagina)
2. Douching
3. Hormone imbalance
4. Anything that weakens your immune system like;
ā¢ diabetes
ā¢ stress
ā¢ lack of sleep
ā¢ pregnancy
ā¢ HIV/AIDS, etc

...this disease was rare and they used to get only 1-2 cases per year but now they are getting 2-3 cases/day.Diabetics are more prone to suffer from this disease as high sugar levels are favourable for mucorās growth. Excess use of steroids in Covid also increases...(2/n)
....the chances of developing mucormycosis as steroids tend to increase blood sugar levels. My colleagues told me that when sugar level crosses 200 mg/dl (Normal range: 70-140), there are higher chances of developing mucormycosis. (3/n)

Next up, the āWhatās Hot in Antifungals?ā session by the ever-insightful @DavidAndes, @IDPharmacist, and Dr. Sharon Chen. Thereās a lot of development in the antifungal sphere so strap in! @MSG_ERC @GermHunterMD @FungalDoc @GRThompson @IDSA @SIDPharm 1/
So what are the current gaps in available antifungals? Notable gaps include parenteral only, PK distribution to sanctuary sites/urine, toxicity, DDIs, and MDR pathogens (Iām looking at you, the fungus formerly known as S. prolificans). 2/
The novel antifungal pipeline in all of its glory, broken down into similar MOA with improvement in features vs. novel targets/mechanisms.
