Two antifungal drugs as potential tools against
Toxoplasma Gondii?
The study that was done on mice below showed significant results with two antifungals:
Fluconazole &
Itraconazole.
As compared to untreated mice, subjects treated with
Fluconazole saw their survival chances increase, while the ones treated with
Itraconazole saw their "brain cyst burden" significantly reduced.
"A 10-day treatment of mice with orally or intraperitoneally administered 20mg/kg/day FLZ showed a significant survival difference compared to untreated mice. The administration of 20mg/kg/day ITZ significantly reduced the brain cyst burden compared to untreated mice but did not exert significant protection against death. The results obtained in this work are rather promising as ITZ and FLZ are safe and low-cost drugs available on the market."Unfortunately, both drugs require a prescription, but fortunately, their "for fish and fish accessories" versions are usually available online without prescriptions (atleast in the USA). So hopefully, you have a dirty fungi infected aquarium to clean, and won't mistakenly swallow the appropriate dosage to cure your T.Gondii?
