Posa also similar efficacy to vori for IA , but better tolerated. And what about combination Rx? Improved mortality in subset w pos asp GM w azole+echonocandin but routine combination Rx not routinely recommended. Caution re growing azole and echinocandin resistance @pascalisid.bsky.social

For Mucor, there is some data for high dose AmB based on limited clinical studies, especially for CNS infection, of note no additional renal toxicity detected w high dose Rx, 'AmB toxicity may be overrated' per Dr Farmakiotis , and rec care w fluid overload and subsequent diuretic use
