ABSTRACT
Fungal infection is one of the serious complications of severely burned patients with high mortality. Application of antifungal agents timely and rationally is very important to control the infection. Antifungal agents including polyenes,triazoles, and echinocandins have been used widely in burned patients and are proved to be effective. Since diagnosis of fungal infection remains difficult, prophylactic and empirical therapies appear to be particularly necessary. In order to improve the efficacy and safety of antifungal agents, the factors of fungal strains, infection sites, hepatic and renal functions, and age, etc. should be considered in selecting antifungal agents.
