Abstract
We conducted a retrospective study to assess pharmacoeconomic outcomes of patients who received a daily dose of micafungin 100 mg or 150 mg to treat candidemia. The oncedaily 100-mg dose resulted in clinical and mycological outcomes similar to those achieved with 150 mg daily and succeeded in reducing drug-acquisition costs for treating hospitalized patients with candidemia.
