ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the efficacy of fluconazole in the treatment of candida infections in different parts,and provide evidence-based reference. METHODS:Cochrane library,Medline,EMBase,PubMed,CBM,CJFD,VIP data-base and Wanfang database were retrieved to collect the randomized controlled trial(RCT)of fluconazole(test group)vs. other an-tifungal agents(control group)in the treatment of candida infections in different parts. After information collection and quality eval-uation,the Meta-analysis was performed by Rev Man 5.1 software. RESULTS:There were totally 6 literatures included,involving 1 966 patients. Meta-analysis results showed that the effectiveness in test group was lower than control group in the treatment of can-didemia [OR=0.48,95%CI(0.29,0.77),P=0.003];compared with control group,there were no significant differences in the effec-tiveness in the treatment of esophagus candidemia [OR=1.15,95%CI(0.74,1.78),P=0.52]. CONCLUSIONS:The efficacy of flu-conazole in the treatment of candidemia is no better than anidulafungin and equivalent with amphotericin B;the efficacy of flucon-azole in the treatment of esophageal candidiasis is equivalent with itraconazole,voriconazole,anidulafungin and micafungin. Due to the limit of included studies,it remains to be further verified by high-quality,large-sample and long follow-up RCTs.
