Using filter is an important skill in searching. Use this term ("itraconazole" AND "amphotericin B" AND "fungal") to perform a search in Pubmed, then limit the result by Clinical Trials (for Article type), by Full text (for Text Availability) and from 01/01/2000 to 01/01/2005 (for Publication dates). Your final result is:
-
10-20
-
70-90
-
1400-1500
-
50-70
