Hey Josh
Well covered as usual..
Just a curious doubt but had faced a situation once.
If we get a candida auris uti, which we decide as significant and need to treat, what will be the treatment of choice?
Small correction–you are correct that there isn’t an IV formulation of itraconazole but there is an IV formulation of posaconazole.
Thanks for you work on this site. Always a good read and review of topics and literature
Loved the podcast as always! I did notice one typo though, Amphoterrible typically causes a type I (distal) RTA (not type IV).
