Voriconazole induced conjunctivitis - Aspergillus and Aspergillosis

Date: 7 February 2014

Notes:

Patient JS (age 53) has chronic cavitary pulmonary aspergillosis and failed itraconazole therapy. After taking voriconazole for several months she relatively suddenly developed florid conjunctivitis which is attributable to voriconazole. This occurred without facial erythema, which is unusual. Voriconazole has been continued.
