Sirolimus-itraconazole interaction in a hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipient.

Interactions between azole antifungal agents and immunosuppressants that are metabolized by cytochrome P450 3A4 (chiefly calcineurin inhibitors) are well documented. Interactions between itraconazole and sirolimus are known to occur in patients after solid organ transplantation, but interactions in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients have yet to be reported in the literature. We describe an allogeneic HSCT recipient who experienced supratherapeutic trough levels of sirolimus as a result of its coadministration with itraconazole.
