Fluconazole is the most potent antifungal agent, after metabolic conversion to 5-fluorouracil, by the enzyme uracil phosphoribosyl transferase, is either incorporated into RNA or metabolized to 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine-5'monophosphate, a potent inhibitor of thymidylate synthase, ultimately inhibition of DNA synthesis. Fluconazole is active against several Candida species, Blastomyces dermatitis, Human capsulatum, and Coccidioides species, Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, and ringworm fungi (dermatophytes). Fluconazole is also active against Aspergillus species, Scedosporium apiospermun (Pseudallescheria boydii), Fusarium, and Sporothrix schenckii, but these fungi are intermediate in susceptibility. Fluconazole penetration into cerebrospinal fluid is good and it successfully treated bacterial meningitis. Fluconazole is used either for prophylaxis and treatment of fungal infection and colonization either in infants and children. In infants, fluconazole treatment dosing-regimen consists of a loading dose (25 mg/kg) followed by a daily maintenance dose of 12 mg/kg, whose dosing intervals decrease according to postnatal age. In children, the recommended dose is of 12 mg/kg daily without loading dose. Following oral dosing, this antibiotic is well absorbed, mainly by small intestine, its bioavailability is about 100%, and it is almost completely eliminated by kidney. Half-life is lower in preterm and term infants (40 to 60 hours) compared to children (< 20 hours) because renal function is lower in infants, and it increases with infant maturation. Fluconazole has been found to be effective and safe in infants and children, however, it produces several birth-defects when administered at high doses, (400 mg daily) to pregnant women. This drug is metabolically cleared by CYP3A enzymes, and interacts with different drugs which are metabolized by CYP3A, enhancing or inhibiting their effects, pharmacokinetics or metabolism. Several Candida species may become resistant to fluconazole; the resistance-rate is flung-specie depended, and azole consumption causes fluconazole-resistance rate increasing infection-risks. The aim of this study is to review published data on fluconazole dosing, effects, distribution, prophylaxis, treatment, drug-interactions, meningitis, trials, metabolism, pharmacokinetics, and drug-resistance in infants and children.
