C. neoformans cell count in murine lung with pulmonary cryptococcosis after drug treatment^a

Treatment	No. of cells (log10 CFU/g) after dose of:
	0.8 mg/kg	2.0 mg/kg
Control (5% dextrose)	7.4 ± 0.04	7.4 ± 0.04
NS-718	6.7 ± 0.38b,c	<3.0b,c
AmBisome	7.3 ± 0.38	7.6 ± 0.09
Fungizone	5.7 ± 0.51b,c,d	NDe

^aDrug or dextrose was injected intravenously into 10 mice in each group, and the number of C. neoformans cells was counted 7 days after infection. The values shown are the means ± standard deviations. 

^bP < 0.05, compared to the respective control value (Scheffe multiple-comparison test). 

^cP < 0.05, compared to the respective AmBisome value (Scheffe multiple-comparison test). 

^dP < 0.05, compared to the respective NS-718 value (Schiffe multiple-comparison test). 

^eND, not done.
