Most fungal infections are diagnosed in Turkey, aspergillosis, moniliasis (candidiasis) and aktinomikosis'dir. Histoplasmosis, a rare fungal infections in Turkey nokardiosis. Other fungi are very rare diseases.

Aspergillosis

This fungus Aspergillus infection fumigatus'dur factor. Aspergillus spores inhaled dust grains than the disease since they are seen more frequently in farmers.

Sputum appearance of Aspergillus fungi, definitive diagnosis is made.

Iodine for the treatment of aspergillosis, natamisin, nystatin, and 5 fluorositosin amlbterisin B is used. Natamisin'in suspension of 2.5% is 2.5 mg 2-3 times a day. This treatment with oral nystatin (from 500,000 to 1,000,000 units a day) will be added to better results.

Amphotericin B is a serious fungal infections, antibiotics are used. 5% glucose or dextrose solution for 1000 is given IV 6-8 hours.

Just before the treatment given chlorpromazine (10-25 mg, IM) prevents some of these side effects.

5 fluorositosin aspergillosis, fungal diseases, such as moniliasis effective. But not as effective as amphotericin B. In severe cases, B is provided with amfote-risin. 5 fluorositosinin dose of 50-150 mg / kg / day.
