We describe a case of apparent mineralocorticoid excess (AME) secondary to posaconazole therapy and suggest the biochemical mechanism. Clinical and laboratory investigation confirmed 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase inhibition and withholding therapy led to a resolution of all clinical and laboratory abnormalities. Posaconazole was later restarted at a lower dose and prevented recurrence of this syndrome. Additional studies are necessary to determine the frequency of posaconazole-induced AME and whether other azole antifungals can be associated with this phenomenon.
我们描述了一例因泊沙康唑治疗继发的明显盐皮质激素过多(AME)病例,并提出了其生化机制。临床和实验室检查证实存在11β-羟类固醇脱氢酶抑制,停用该治疗后所有临床和实验室异常均得到缓解。随后以较低剂量重新开始使用泊沙康唑,该综合征未再复发。需要进一步研究以确定泊沙康唑诱导AME的频率,以及其他唑类抗真菌药是否也会出现这种现象。
