Antifungal Agents
Antifungal Agents
Haveles (p. 102)
Fungal infections are not frequently encountered in the dental practice
4
When present, they are often difficult to treat
They are more likely to occur in patients who are immunocompromised, and they can become chronic
Haveles (pp. 102-103) (Tables 8-1, 8-2)
They can be divided into those that affect primarily the skin and mucosa and those that affect the whole body Mucosal lesions may be treated with a topical or systemic antifungal agent
Two common groups are the candida-like and tinea
Mucocutaneous candidal infections are managed with nystatin, clotrimazole, ketoconazole, or fluconazole Tinea affects the skin and produces athlete’s foot, “jock itch,” and ringworm; managed both with prescription and over-the-counter medications

Antifungal Agents
Haveles (pp. 102-103, 106) (Figs. 8-1, 8-2)
Systemic mycoses produced by fungi include aspergillosis, blastomycosis, coccidioidomycosis, cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis, mucormycosis, and paracoccidioidomycosis
Nystatin
Chromomycosis, mycetoma, and sporotrichosis may progress to deep mycotic infections
This action produces an increase in membrane permeability Bacteria do not contain sterols in their cell membrane, therefore nystatin is not effective against these organisms
These serious infections are medical management situations
Haveles (pp. 103-104)
A polyene macrolide antibiotic produced by Streptomyces noursei Mechanism of action involves binding to sterols in the fungal cell membrane
Amphotericin B and miconazole are used to treat them

Nystatin
Nystatin
Not absorbed from the mucous membranes or through intact skin
Adverse reactions are minor and infrequent
Applied topically or taken orally, little absorption occurs With higher doses, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea have occasionally occurred
Taken orally, it is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract
Fungicidal and fungistatic against a variety of yeasts and fungi

Nystatin
Haveles (pp. 103-104) (Table 8-1)
Used for both treatment and prevention of oral candidiasis in susceptible cases
Candida albicans is a frequent inhabitant of the oral cavity; only under unusual conditions does it produce disease Affected patients are often immunocompromised
Haveles (p. 103) (Table 8-1)
For treatment of oral candidiasis; available as an aqueous suspension containing 50% sucrose
Swish, swirl, and spit or swallow 5 ml four times daily • The suspension should remain in the mouth for 2 minutes for the best effect

Adverse reactions of ketoconazole
Haveles (p. 105)
Drug interactions
GI effects: the most frequent adverse reactions are nausea and vomiting Hepatotoxicity effects: the most serious adverse reaction; thought to be idiosyncratic Other effects: headache, dizziness, drowsiness, photophobia, skin rash or pruritus, and insomnia Pregnancy and nursing considerations: can produce syndactyly, oligodactyly, dystocia, and embryotoxicity
Many, because an acidic environment is required, agents that alter the amount of stomach acid could theoretically reduce the absorption of ketoconazole ketoconazole inhibits the CYP P-450 3A4 hepatic microsomal isoenzyme, which can produce drug interactions with many other drugs also metabolized by this isoenzyme
