Case analysis of a patient with isavuconazonium-caused pancytopenia
OBJECTIVE To correctly identify and deal with the adverse drug reaction as pancytopenia caused by isavuconazonium and to provide reference for the safe use of isavuconazonium.METHODS Clinical pharmacists analyzed a case of severe infection and renal insufficiency who experienced pancytopenia after using isavuconazonium.Clinical pharmacists screened the drugs used during hospitalization and evaluated the relationship between this adverse drug reaction and isavuconazonium,as well as the possible mechanisms,based on the half-life of the drugs and relevant literature.RESULTS&CONCLUSIONS The relationship between pancytopenia and isavuconazonium was assessed as"possibly related".When using isavuconazonium,attention should be paid to avoiding the combination of drugs with the same mechanism or potential interaction.For patients who have a course of treatment for more than 2 weeks,have hematological abnormalities or complicated with liver and renal insufficiency,or should use it combined with other drug with same mechanism,it may be considered to increase the frequency of blood routine monitoring.
