Comparison of PDT using a 660 nm laser and methylene blue vs. an 810 nm laser and indocyanine green on different Candida species – in vitro

Puntos clave

• Photodynamic therapy using a 660 nm laser with methylene blue shows potential efficacy against Candida species, indicating improved treatment options.
• In vitro analysis demonstrated that both 660 nm and 810 nm laser therapies varied in effectiveness, influencing clinical decisions.
• Assessment utilized photodynamic therapy protocols with methylene blue and indocyanine green to evaluate their roles in fungal management.
• Findings support tailored PDT approaches for Candida infections, highlighting the need for further clinical validation.
