Painful periostitis in the setting of chronic voriconazole therapy

Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2014 Oct;27(4):350-2. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2014.11929156.

Abstract

A 72-year-old woman on chronic voriconazole therapy for recurrent histoplasmosis developed a painful forearm mass. Laboratory and imaging findings were consistent with a diffuse periostitis. Her symptoms resolved after discontinuation of voriconazole. To our knowledge, this is the first case of voriconazole-induced periostitis to be reported in a patient with chronic histoplasmosis.
