Aspergillosis is a challenging fungal infection. Voriconazole is an antifungal drug belonging to the triazole group, commonly used for treating invasive aspergillosis, and candida infections. We present a case of a man in his late 70s diagnosed with rhino-orbital invasive aspergillosis who developed voriconazole-induced psychosis as an idiosyncratic, adverse drug reaction (ADR); however, he responded to the cessation of intravenous voriconazole and, after starting on an oral antipsychotic, haloperidol. Clinicians need to be cognizant of this rare, idiosyncratic and iatrogenic ADR to voriconazole.
曲霉菌病是一种具有挑战性的真菌感染。伏立康唑是一种属于三唑类的抗真菌药物,常用于治疗侵袭性曲霉菌病和念珠菌感染。我们报告了一例 70 多岁的男性患者,被诊断患有鼻眶部侵袭性曲霉菌病,他出现了伏立康唑诱导的精神病,这是一种特发性、药物不良反应(ADR);然而,他在停止静脉用伏立康唑后,以及开始口服抗精神病药氟哌啶醇后,病情得到了缓解。临床医生需要认识到这种罕见的、特发性和医源性的伏立康唑不良反应。
