Safety of different amphotericin B formulations among AIDS patients with invasive fungal disease: a retrospective observational study.

ABSTRACT: We conducted a retrospective, observational study among acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients with cryptococcal meningitis or talaromycosis to assess AmB formulations-related adverse events (AEs). Total 205 eligible patients were enrolled. Of them, 139 received AmB therapy, 51 received liposomal AmB (L-AmB) therapy, and 15 received AmB cholesteryl sulfate complex (ABCD) therapy. The incidences of total AEs between the AmB, L-AmB and ABCD group had no significant differences. The ABCD group had significantly higher incidences of hepatotoxicity and hematological toxicity than the AmB and L-AmB groups. The incidence of grade 3-4 hematological toxicity in the ABCD group was significantly higher than that in the AmB and L-AmB groups. Multinomial logistic regression models showed t
