[An evaluation of the efficacy of Pimafucin in candidiasis of the skin and mucous membranes].

Abstract

Results were studied of use of different dosage forms of pimafucin in candidiases in children. It was found out that the above medicinal agent is an effective anticandidiasis drug that can easily be tolerated by children. A beneficial clinical effect was noted in treatment of candidiasis complications in those children suffering from atopic dermatitis. The above drug can, we believe, come into widespread use in pediatric dermatovenereology.
