We have previously shown that the combination of β-glucan and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) was lethal to mice. In this study, we examined the effect of Candida on this treatment and found that Candida showed similar lethal toxicity when used in combination with indomethacin. It was also confirmed that LPS preparations from various origins and by various procedures did not show lethality. Candida/indomethacin induced lethality was found to be associated with increased number of leukocytes in various organs and activation of these cells. These findings strongly suggest that pathogenic fungi augment the side effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
