The effect of fluconazole treatment on tumor necrosis factor-alpha production in murine candidiasis.

That systemic candidiasis increases TNF-alpha has been proved in various studies. In our study, we investigated if fluconazole too, which is used in treatment, has an additional effect on the increase of TNF-alpha. On the sixth day of the experimental infection, it was measured that TNF-alpha levels...

description That systemic candidiasis increases TNF-alpha has been proved in various studies. In our study, we investigated if fluconazole too, which is used in treatment, has an additional effect on the increase of TNF-alpha. On the sixth day of the experimental infection, it was measured that TNF-alpha levels of candidiasis was 699 +/- 60 pg/ml whereas it was 683 +/- 35 pg/ml in the mice that were treated with fluconazole. TNF-alpha levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay. Due to the fact that no statistically significant difference was found between them (p > .05) it was thought that fluconazole did not have an additional effect on the increase of TNF-alpha in candidiasis.
