Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amphotericin B is the treatment of choice for systemic mycosis, including aspergillosis. Imidazoles such as fluconazole are more effective against superficial fungal infections like dermatophytosis. Lamisil is effective against dermatophyte infections of the nails and skin but is not effective against systemic infections. Nystatin is effective only against candidiasis. Griseofulvin is used for treating dermatophytoses, but it is not effective against aspergillosis, which is a mold infection.
