Amphotericin B (AMB) concentrations were determined in pulmonary epithelial lining fluid (ELF) of 44 critically ill patients, who were receiving treatment with liposomal AMB (LAMB) (n = 11), AMB colloidal dispersion (ABCD) (n = 28), or AMB lipid complex (ABLC) (n = 5). Mean AMB levels (+/- standard errors of the means) in ELF amounted to 1.60 +/- 0.58, 0.38 +/- 0.07, and 1.29 +/- 0.71 microg/ml in LAMB-, ABCD-, and ABLC-treated patients, respectively (differences are not significant).
