UNASSIGNED: A 47-year-old man diagnosed with human immunodeficiency virus-related pulmonary cryptococcosis experienced an irregular heartbeat during antifungal therapy with fluconazole at 400 mg once daily. A 12-lead electrocardiogram was conducted, which displayed frequent unifocal PVCs originating in the right ventricular outflow tract without QT prolongation. After reducing the dose of fluconazole to 200 mg once daily, the patient\'s symptoms slightly improved, and PVC frequency decreased on a 12-lead ECG; however, PVCs did not disappear. After discontinuing fluconazole, the symptoms improved, and a follow-up 12-lead electrocardiogram showed no PVCs.
UNASSIGNED: We encountered the case of frequent PVCs induced by fluconazole during the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus-related pulmonary cryptococcosis. Furthermore, it was suggested that the PVC frequency was dose-dependent for fluconazole. Careful follow-up for new-onset arrhythmias and ECG evaluations are essential before and after fluconazole administration.
■一名被诊断患有人类免疫缺陷病毒相关肺隐球菌病的47岁男子在接受氟康唑每天一次400mg的抗真菌治疗期间出现不规则心跳。进行了12导联心电图检查,表现出起源于右心室流出道的频繁单中心PVCs,而无QT延长。在将氟康唑的剂量减少到每天200毫克后,患者的症状略有改善,在12导联心电图上,PVC频率降低;然而,PVC没有消失。停用氟康唑后,症状好转,随访12导联心电图显示无PVCs。
■我们在治疗人类免疫缺陷病毒相关肺隐球菌病时遇到了氟康唑诱发的频繁PVCs。此外,提示氟康唑的PVC频率呈剂量依赖性。在氟康唑给药前后,对新发心律失常进行仔细的随访和ECG评估至关重要。
