aspergillus

I took IV Amphotericin for two weeks. I became extremely sick with nausea, vomiting, and developed renal failure. I was told I have long-term kidney damage from Amphotericin. But I have not had my kidney function checked over the last few weeks to see if there has been an improvement. <br><br>My CF doctor and I have discussed using inhaled Amphotericin B.I culture Aspergillus and have coughed up black fungal balls over the last year. In late 2009 I began running a chronic low grade fever and developed hemoptysis in January 2011 which continues to cause problems. Another CF doctor at my center said he does not believe inhaled Amphotericin is a good idea because it can punch holes in the airways and lead to worsening lung problems. <br><br>Anyone out there use inhaled amphotericin? If so, how long did you use the neb, what was the dose, and how many times per day? Did you/your child experience worsening lung decline after treatment?My fevers are alleviated with Zosyn and Augmentin. These two antibiotics may treat Ralstonia, a rare bacteriaI culture, as well as anaerobes. <br> - See more at: http://forum.cysticfibrosis.com/threads/14453-nebulized-amphotericin-(fungizone)-for-fungus/page4?highlight=candida#sthash.X46lglGk.dpuf
