The antiretroviral agent atazanavir is associated with mild asymptomatic hyperbilirubinemia. We report two cases of symptomatic hyperbilirubinemia attributed to atazanavir in conjunction with the Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia prophylaxis agent dapsone. Symptoms and laboratory evidence of hemolysis resolved upon discontinuation of dapsone, enabling successful antiretroviral therapy. Symptomatic hyperbilirubinemia due to hemolytic anemia is a potential adverse event when using the combination of atazanavir and dapsone in the treatment of patients with the human immunodeficiency virus.
抗逆转录病毒药物阿扎那韦可引起轻度无症状性高胆红素血症。我们报告了两例与预防卡氏肺孢子虫肺炎的药物氨苯砜合用引起的有症状性高胆红素血症的病例。停用氨苯砜后,症状和溶血性贫血的实验室证据得到缓解,从而成功地进行了抗逆转录病毒治疗。在治疗人类免疫缺陷病毒感染者时,阿扎那韦和氨苯砜联合使用时,由于溶血性贫血引起的症状性高胆红素血症是一种潜在的不良事件。
