摘要
Background: Fungal infections are common and life threatening among immunosupressive patients. Rare side effects may occur related to the use of voriconazole, which is the drug of choice in invasive aspergillosis. Patients and Methods: Neuropathy was determined through clinical and electromyographic findings during the course of voriconazole therapy in 2 patients developing invasive aspergillosis. Results: Since examinations revealed no neuropathy capable of ascription to any other cause and improvement followed the cessation of the drug, this suggested that neuropathy may be linked to voriconazole use. Conclusion: Neuropathy may be seen as a side effect during voriconazole treatment. Voriconazole-induced side effects should be borne in mind and patients carefully monitored during its use.
