Conclusion
We described a patient who survived a 20-fold overdose of amphotericin B
DOC due to a medication error. We described a much shorter terminal
half-life (49 hours vs. 15 days) of amphotericin B than previously
reported. Plasmapheresis may have marginally enhanced the elimination of
amphotericin B However, the role of plasmapheresis is still under
debate.
