Özet

Objective: Amphotericin B (AmB) is widely used as a mainstay in the treatment of sight-threatening fungal endophthalmitis. From the time that itraconazole was discovered to have a previously unknown anti-angiogenic activity, we have suspected that AmB may have possible effects on ocular angiogenesis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the in vivo anti-angiogenic effect of AmB in the chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model.
