Voriconazole is a new antifungal agent effective in the treatment of invasive aspergillosis. Interpatient variation in plasma concentrations is considerable--more than 100-fold. We describe 3 patients with diverse manifestations of toxicity (e.g., hallucinations, hypoglycemia, electrolyte disturbance, and pneumonitis) possibly attributable to high voriconazole concentrations. Measurement of plasma concentrations could be helpful in optimizing voriconazole dosages.
伏立康唑是一种新型抗真菌药物,对侵袭性曲霉病有效。患者间血浆浓度差异很大——超过100倍。我们描述了3例可能因伏立康唑浓度过高而出现不同毒性表现(如幻觉、低血糖、电解质紊乱和肺炎)的患者。测量血浆浓度可能有助于优化伏立康唑剂量。
