Patent Claims:	1. A method of treating a fungal infection in a patient in need thereof, comprising administering to the patient a pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of compound 1: ##STR00003## wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable salt is selected from citrate, hippurate, mesylate, and fumarate, and wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of compound 1 used to prepare the pharmaceutical composition has a water sorption of from 2% to 7% at 25.degree. C. and 80% relative humidity as determined by DVS. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the pharmaceutical composition further comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and wherein the pharmaceutical composition is suitable for injection into the patient. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the pharmaceutical composition further comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of compound 1 is dissolved in the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier prior to administering the pharmaceutical composition to the patient. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the administering comprises administration by intravenous injection. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of compound 1 used to prepare the pharmaceutical composition has a water sorption of from 3% to 7% at 25.degree. C. and 80% relative humidity as determined by DVS. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of compound 1 used to prepare the pharmaceutical composition has a water sorption of from 6% to 7% at 25.degree. C. and 80% relative humidity as determined by DVS. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of compound 1 is a citrate salt of compound 1. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the fungal infection is a Candida and/or Aspergillus fungal infection. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the fungal infection is Invasive Candidiasis and/or Invasive Aspergillosis. 10. A method of treating a fungal infection in a patient in need thereof, comprising administering to the patient a pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of a citrate salt of compound 1: ##STR00004## wherein the citrate salt of compound 1 used to prepare the pharmaceutical composition comprises at least one of Type A, Type B, Type E, Type F, Type M, Type N, Type O, Type Q, Type R, and Type S citrate crystal forms. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the pharmaceutical composition further comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and the pharmaceutical composition is suitable for injection into the patient. 12. The method of claim 10, wherein the citrate salt of compound 1 is dissolved in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier prior to administering the pharmaceutical composition to the patient. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the administering comprises administration by intravenous injection. 14. The method of claim 10, wherein the citrate salt of compound 1 used to prepare the pharmaceutical composition comprises Type A. 15. The method of claim 10, wherein the citrate salt of compound 1 used to prepare the pharmaceutical composition consists essentially of Type A. 16. The method of claim 10, wherein the citrate salt of compound 1 used to prepare the pharmaceutical composition comprises at least 98% Type A. 17. The method of claim 10, wherein the citrate salt of compound 1 used to prepare the pharmaceutical composition comprises at least 99% Type A. 18. The method of claim 14, wherein the Type A has an XRPD pattern comprising peaks at d-spacing of 11.86, 6.71, and 5.90 Angstroms. 19. The method of claim 14, wherein the Type A has an XRPD pattern comprising peaks at d-spacing of 11.86, 7.70, 7.09, 6.71, 5.90, and 5.29 Angstroms. 20. The method of claim 14, wherein the Type A has an XRPD pattern comprising peaks at degrees 2 theta of 7.45, 11.49, 12.49, 13.19, 15.02, and 16.75. 21. The method of claim 14, wherein the Type A has an XRPD pattern comprising peaks at degrees 2 theta of 7.45, 13.19, and 15.02. 22. The method of claim 14, wherein the Type A is stable for at least 1 week when stored at 60.degree. C. 23. The method of claim 14, wherein the Type A is stable for at least 1 week when stored at 25.degree. C. and 60% relative humidity. 24. The method of claim 14, wherein the Type A is stable for at least 1 week when stored at 40.degree. C. and 75% relative humidity. 25. The method of claim 14, wherein the Type A has an equilibrium solubility of 38 mg/mL in non-buffered water at room temperature. 26. The method of claim 14, wherein the Type A has an approximate solubility of from 40 mg/mL to 42 mg/mL at room temperature in at least one solvent selected from methanol, isopropyl alcohol, acetic acid, tetrahydrofuran, 2-methyl-tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane, n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide, and dimethylacetamide. 27.
