Adverse drug reactions (ADR) related to the treatment of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) can cause severe clinical complications. We report a case series of ADR in hospitalized VL patients on meglumine antimoniate (MA).
Seven cases of patients taking MA had at least one objective evidence for suspected ADR, including electrocardiographic, laboratory or clinical alteration.
Meglumine antimoniate is highly toxic. Adherence to treatment guidelines is important. Pharmacists working in multidisciplinary teams may contribute to early detection and management of MA therapy-related ADR.
与内脏利什曼病(VL)治疗相关的药物不良反应(ADR)可导致严重的临床并发症。我们报告了一组住院接受葡甲胺锑治疗(MA)的 VL 患者的 ADR 病例系列。
7 例接受 MA 治疗的患者至少有一项疑似 ADR 的客观证据,包括心电图、实验室或临床改变。
葡甲胺锑毒性很高。遵守治疗指南很重要。在多学科团队中工作的药剂师可能有助于早期发现和管理 MA 治疗相关的 ADR。
