Abstrakt: Using isolated and perfused rat livers we found an inhibitory effect on intracellular killing of hepatic macrophages versus E. coli, in presence of therapeutic levels of amphotericin B (5 micrograms/ml). Since an interference of this antibiotic with phagocytic functions of human neutrophils has also been reported, we suggest that amphotericin B may exert a toxic effect on intraphagocytic microbicidal function, possibly by an interaction with membrane sterols.
