ResumoLas infecciones fúngicas invasoras producen una elevada morbimortalidad en los pacientes críticos no neutropénicos. Durante muchos años, la anfotericina B y flucitosina han sido los únicos antifúngicos disponibles para el tratamiento de este tipo de infecciones. Afortunadamente, el arsenal terapéutico de antifúngicos se ha ampliado en las dos últimas décadas con la aparición de nuevos antimicóticos: itraconazol, fluconazol, fórmulaciones lipídicas de anfotericina B, voriconazol y caspofungina, ya comercializados. Estos antifúngicos difieren en su espectro farmacocinético y farmacodinámico. Invasive fungal infections are important causes of morbidity and mortality in critically ill non neutropenic patients. For many years, amphotericin B and flucytosine have been the only available antifungal agents for invasive fungal infections. Fortunately, the antifungal armamentarium has increased during the past two decades with the addition of several new agents. In addition to itraconazole and fluconazole, lipid formulations of amphotericin B, voriconazole, and caspofungin have been recently licensed. These various antifungal agents differ in their pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile.
