Bioassays for itraconazole blood levels: an interlaboratory collaborative study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Duplicate bioassays for itraconazole and hydroxy-itraconazole were run with 30 serum samples in five laboratories, each using a different method. Both itraconazole and hydroxy-itraconazole were used as standards. Despite quantitative variations, the results of the bioassays correlated sufficiently to indicate the relative level of antifungal activity in the test samples.

Comparative and collaborative evaluation of standardization of antifungal susceptibility testing for filamentous fungi.
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the interlaboratory agreement of broth dilution susceptibility methods for five species of conidium-forming (size range, 2 to 7 microns) filamentous fungi. The methods used included both macro- and microdilution methods that were adaptations of the proposed reference method of the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards for yeasts (m27-P). T...
متن کاملInternational interlaboratory proficiency testing program for measurement of azole antifungal plasma concentrations.
An international interlaboratory proficiency testing program for the measurement of antifungal drugs was initiated in 2007. This first round was limited to azole antifungals: fluconazole, itraconazole and hydroxyitraconazole, voriconazole, and posaconazole. The results demonstrate the need for and utility of an ongoing proficiency testing program to further improve the analytical methods for ro...
متن کاملMulticenter evaluation of proposed standardized procedure for antifungal susceptibility testing of filamentous fungi.
A multicenter study was conducted to expand the generation and analysis of data that supports the proposal of a reference method for the antifungal susceptibility testing of filamentous fungi. Broth microdilution MICs of amphotericin B and itraconazole were determined in 11 centers against 30 coded duplicate pairs of Aspergillus spp., Fusarium spp., Pseudallescheria boydii, and Rhizopus arrhizu...
متن کاملIntra- and interlaboratory study of a method for testing the antifungal susceptibilities of dermatophytes.
The National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) M38-A standard for the susceptibility testing of conidium-forming filamentous fungi does not explicitly address the testing of dermatophytes. This multicenter study, involving six laboratories, investigated the MIC reproducibility of seven antifungal agents tested against 25 dermatophyte isolates (5 blinded pairs of five dermatoph...

An interlaboratory quality control scheme has been established in Britain by the British Committee for Standards in Haematology. In the first instance this has been confined to haemoglobin, red blood cell count, and packed cell volume. The materials which have been circulated include whole blood, stabilized red cell preparations, lysates, cyanmethaemoglobin solutions, and cyanmethaemoglobin ref...
