Abstract
We previously reported our experience (1) with the treatment of cryptococcal infections in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Like other investigators (2, 3) we noted a high relapse rate and a poor response to treatment among patients with relapsed infections. Continued weekly infusions of amphotericin B after a standard course of therapy seemed to offer our patients some protection against relapse. Of seven patients who received maintenance therapy with amphotericin B, none had relapses; four of eight patients had relapses when maintenance therapy was not administered. This observation prompted us to recommend maintenance amphotericin B for all patients
