Adjunctive therapy of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis with itraconazole.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Despite increasing knowledge about partial liquid ventilation (PLV), the optimal dose of perfluorocarbon (PFC) is not yet established. Because there exist normal regions in the lung with ARDS and because PLV in the normal lung results in worsened gas exchange, we postulated that the optimal dose of PFC for P...
