RESUMO

In order to develop new approaches for the chemotherapy of invasive infections caused by Scedosporium prolificans, the in vitro interaction between itraconazole and terbinafine against 20 clinical isolates was studied using a checkerboard microdilution method. Itraconazole and terbinafine alone were inactive against most isolates, but the combination was synergistic against 95 and 85% of isolates after 48 and 72 h of incubation, respectively. Antagonism was not observed. The MICs obtained with the terbinafine-itraconazole combination were within levels that can be achieved in plasma.
