At 1 micro g/ml ketoconazole showed no distinct synergistic effect on either polymorphonuclear chemotactic or C. albicans killing functions in vitro, but it acted directly on C. albicans cells. In addition, ketoconazole did not demonstrate any chemotactic activity on granulocytes. It is suggested that host cellular defence and ketoconazole exert a parallel, rather than a synergistic, effect.
