Abstract

Effect of antifungal preparation amphotericin B and its lysosomotropic composition with dialdehyde-dextran on functional state of phagocytizing cells in the dynamics of granulomatous inflammation induced by C. albicans was studied on CBA mice. A stimulating effect of amphotericin B on the production of reactive oxygen species by peritoneal and bone marrow phagocytes was observed, while lysosomotropic form of the antibiotic did not stimulate generation of oxygen radicals.
