Table 3.
Survival and mean times to death of mice inoculated with N. fowleri and treated for 10 days with amphotericin B or corifungin
| Treatment group (treatment dose [mg/kg/day])a | No. of surviving mice/total no. of mice (%)b | Mean time to death (days)c |
|---|---|---|
| Control | 7/10 (70) | 12 |
| Amphotericin B (9) | 6/10 (60) | 11 |
| Corifungin (9) | 10/10 (100) | None died |
a
The control group received PBS.
b
Mice were held for 17 days after inoculation, and the cumulative percentage was recorded on a daily basis.
c
The mean time to death was calculated based only on dead mice.
