Voriconazole therapeutic drug monitoring

Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2006 Apr;50(4):1570-2. doi: 10.1128/AAC.50.4.1570-1572.2006.

Abstract

We report on 28 patients who underwent voriconazole monitoring because of disease progression or toxicity. A relationship (P<0.025) between disease progression and drug concentration was detected. Favorable responses were observed in 10/10 patients with concentrations above 2.05 microg/ml, while disease progressed in 44% (n=18) of patients with concentrations below 2.05 microg/ml.
