id="Fluconazole.Introduction"><h3>Introduction</h3><p>Fluconazole is a triazole fungistatic agent used in the treatment of systemic and superficial fungal infections. Fluconazole therapy can cause transient mild-to-moderate serum aminotransferase elevations and is a known cause of clinically apparent acute drug induced liver injury.</p></div><div id="Fluconazole.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Fluconazole (floo kon' a zole) is a fungicidal agent which inhibits lanasterol-14-α-demethylase, the enzyme responsible for ergosterol synthesis. As a consequence, fluconazole causes an increase in abnormal intracellular sterols, inhibiting the fungal cell’s ability to replicate. Fluconazole was approved for use in the United States in 1990 and currently more than 12 million prescriptions are written for it yearly. Current indications include treatment of fungal infections due to candida and cryptococcus. Fluconazole is available in multiple generic forms and under the brand name Diflucan in tablets of 50, 100, 150 and 200 mg, as well as in oral suspensions and parenteral formulations. The usual recommended dose is 100 to 400 mg daily, depending upon the type and severity of the infection. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, and headache.</p></div><div id="Fluconazole.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>Transient mild-to-moderate elevations in serum aminotransferase levels occur in up to 5% of patients treated with fluconazole, but these abnormalities are usually asymptomatic and resolve even with continuation of the medication. ALT elevations above 8 times the upper limit of normal are reported to occur in 1% of patients taking fluconazole and to represent the most common adverse event leading to early discontinuation of treatment. Clinically apparent hepatotoxicity due to fluconazole is rare, but well described. The liver injury is typically hepatocellular, arises within the first few weeks of therapy and can be accompanied by signs of hypersensitivity such as fever, rash and eosinophilia. Fatal instances of fluconazole induced liver injury have been reported (Case 1), but most cases are self-limited, although recovery may be delayed for several weeks after stopping fluconazole and may be slow requiring 2 to 3 months.</p><p>Likelihood score: B (likely cause of clinically apparent liver injury).</p></div><div id="Fluconazole.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>The cause of clinically apparent hepatotoxicity from fluconazole is unknown; however, it may relate to the ability of fluconazole to alter sterol synthesis. Fluconazole is a potent inhibitor of the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP 3A4, and can lead to significant increases in plasma levels and serious toxicity from medications that are ordinarily metabolized by CYP3A4, particularly the statins and cyclosporine.</p></div><div id="Fluconazole.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>The severity of liver injury from fluconazole ranges from mild and transient enzyme elevations to clinically apparent hepatitis to acute liver failure and death. Most patients recover with stopping fluconazole, but resolution may be slow requiring 3 to 4 months. Rechallenge may lead to recurrence and should be avoided. There is little information on cross reactivity of hepatic injury between fluconazole and other antifungal azoles, such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole and posaconazole, but a few reports suggest that there is little cross reactivity. Nevertheless, other antifungal azoles should be started with caution in patients who have suffered clinically apparent hepatotoxicity attributed to fluconazole.</p><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/AntifungalAgents/?report=reader">Antifungal Agents</a></p></div></div><div id="Fluconazole.CASE_REPORT"><h2 id="_Fluconazole_CASE_REPORT_">CASE REPORT</h2><div id="Fluconazole.Case_1._Fluconazole_induced_"><h3>Case 1.

Liver tests were monitored and were normal when fluconazole was started. One week later, serum ALT levels had risen, but the patient was asymptomatic. After 21 days of fluconazole therapy, however, he presented with progressive weakness, nausea, jaundice and low grade fever. Both serum bilirubin and ALT levels had risen markedly (Table) and prothrombin time was prolonged at 22.3 seconds. He was admitted for management. He was somnolent and icteric. Tests for hepatitis A and B were negative. His other medications included aerosolized pentamidine, prochlorperazine (for nausea), acetaminophen with codeine (for pain), acetazolamide and cimetidine. He was not receiving antiretroviral therapy. Acetaminophen level was 4 mg/L, which was considered a nontoxic level. Despite supportive therapy, he became progressively more unresponsible and died 4 days later in hepatic failure, 25 days after starting fluconazole. Autopsy showed massive necrosis without viral inclusion bodies or steatosis.</p><div id="Fluconazole.Key_Points"><h4>Key Points</h4><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figFluconazoleT1"><a href="/books/NBK548300/table/Fluconazole.T1/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table" class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="figFluconazoleT1" rid-ob="figobFluconazoleT1"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK548300/table/Fluconazole.T1/?report=thumb" src-large="/books/NBK548300/table/Fluconazole.T1/?report=previmg" alt="Image " /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt"><h4 id="Fluconazole.T1"><a href="/books/NBK548300/table/Fluconazole.T1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobFluconazoleT1">Table</a></h4></div></div></div><div id="Fluconazole.Laboratory_Values"><h4>Laboratory Values</h4><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figFluconazoleT2"><a href="/books/NBK548300/table/Fluconazole.T2/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table" class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="figFluconazoleT2" rid-ob="figobFluconazoleT2"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK548300/table/Fluconazole.T2/?report=thumb" src-large="/books/NBK548300/table/Fluconazole.T2/?report=previmg" alt="Image " /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt"><h4 id="Fluconazole.T2"><a href="/books/NBK548300/table/Fluconazole.T2/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobFluconazoleT2">Table</a></h4></div></div></div><div id="Fluconazole.Comment"><h4>Comment</h4><p>A dramatic example of an acute hepatitis-like syndrome arising within 2 to 3 weeks of starting fluconazole, with rapid progression to acute liver failure and death.</p></div></div></div><div id="Fluconazole.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Fluconazole_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><div id="Fluconazole.BPI" class="box boxed-text-box whole_rhythm hide-overflow"><p>
