Voriconazole in newborns

Indian Pediatr. 2008 Mar;45(3):236-8.

Abstract

Voriconazole is a newer systemic antifungal agent effective against Candida and Aspergillus. There are few reports of its safe use in newborns. We report the first case series of safe Voriconazole use in critically ill newborns with cardiac disease along with several other cardiac drugs without any significant drug interaction or side-effect.
