Criptococosis cerebral, voriconazol, niveles plasmáticos y síndrome de reconstitución inmune. Reporte de un caso

We report a 45-year-old male with AIDS who had a Cryptococcus neoformans central nervous system infection. He was treated with amphotericin B deoxycholate subsequently changed to voriconazole due to systemic toxicity of the former. Plasma levels of voriconazole were insufficient with a standard dose...
