Özet:

Fluconazole is a subclass of triazole antifungal agents, is available as oral tablets, powder or for oral suspension, and as a sterile solution for intravenous administration. Fluconazole is designated chemically as 2,4-difluoro-α,α1-bis benzyl alcohol in the form of white crystalline solid which is slightly soluble in water and saline.

Fluconazole oral suspension contains 350 mg or 1400 mg contains sucrose, citric acid anhydrous, sodium benzoate, sodium citrate, colloidal, silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide, xanthan gum, and natural orange flavor. After reconstitution with 24 ml of distilled water or purified water each ml of reconstituted suspension contains 10 mg or 40 mg of fluconazole.

Animals are divided into 4 groups. The rats of group A are taken as control group. In group B rats are kept nothing per mouth at 12 hours prior to induction of septic shock produce by Candida albican. Group C animals are administrated with fluconazole at doses of 3mg/kg, 10mg/kg and 30mg/kg after the septic shock produce by candida albican. Since fluconazole at a higher dose has clearly shown to decrease tissue injury. We have decided to keep fluconazole dose as constant and vitamin E would be administered in dose of 10mg/100gm of body weight in     group D. Both the drugs will be administered after inducing septic shock. After the study, animals will be sacrificed and lungs will be obtained within 8 hours of septic shock.

Lungs will be taken out of sacrificed animals and will be fixed with paraffin and then sectioned and stained by eosin and haemotoxylin. With the help of cardiac puncture blood samples were taken to estimate the infectious markers. Study of CBC and CRP was done. The levels were estimated and compared with control and correlated with histologic findings. The lung histology will be determined by mucosal thickening and inflammatory cells.

All these results were in favor of group D fluconazole along with vitamin E that shows significant results in all parameters. There was significant correlation between control and fluconazole along with vitamin E treated group because vitamin E considerably reduced the histopathological changes in lungs parenchyma.

It was concluded from this study that the antioxidant property of vitamin E decreases the lung tissue injury and oxidative stress when given along with fluconazole.
