AB - Reactions 1563, p130 - 8 Aug 2015 Various toxicities: case report A 53-year-old woman developed flu-like symptoms following treatment with potassium iodide for fixed cutaneous sporotrichosis; itraconazole was subsequently administered with ensuing fever, vomiting and malaise [times to reaction onsets and outcomes not stated]. The woman with rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes mellitus started receiving oral saturated solution of potassium iodide, 5 drops 3 times daily, following diagnosis of fixed cutaneous sporotrichosis. After her initial dose, she developed intolerable flu-like symptoms and treatment was stopped. She was subsequently administered itraconazole 100mg twice daily [route not stated], yet after her second dose, she developed vomiting, fever and general malaise. Itraconazole was withdrawn, and liposomal amphotericin B was successfully initiated. Author comment: "Our patient developed flu-like symptoms and could not tolerate itraconazole perhaps due to drug (anti-diabetics) interaction. She refused further oral therapy of any kind despite adequate counseling." Mahajan VK, et al. Fixed cutaneous sporotrichosis treated with topical amphotericin B in an immune suppressed patient.
