At day 3 (±1) patients were intensively sampled (2 mL) at t = 0 (pre-dose) and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18 and 24 h post start infusion during a dosing interval. At day 7 (±1), a second PK curve of six samples was drawn at t = 0, (pre-dose) and 1, 4, 8, 12 and 24 h post start infusion. Additional daily trough concentrations were drawn daily until 3 days after cessation of micafungin therapy. A validated ultra-performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence assay was used to analyse the samples, details have been described previously [7].
