Efficacy and safety of amphotericin B combined with posaconazole in the treatment of cryptococcal meningitis complicated with AIDS
To observe the efficacy and safety of amphotericin B combined with posaconazole in the treatment of patients with AIDS combined with cryptococcal meningitis (CM).
METHODS
2
The data of 44 patients with AIDS combined with CM admitted to Chongqing Public Health Medical Center and the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Military Medical University from January 2021 to June 2023 were collected retrospectively. They were divided into amphotericin B combined with flucytosine (AmB+FC) group and amphotericin B combined with posaconazole (AmB+POS) group according to treatment regimen, with 22 cases in each group. AmB+FC group was given Amphotericin B for injection+Flucytosine injection; AmB+POS group was given Amphotericin B for injection+posaconazole injection. After 12 weeks of treatment, clinical efficacies of two groups, clinical symptoms and the negative coversion rate of cerebrospinal fluid, and laboratory test results before and after treatment were observed in 2 groups, and the occurrence of adverse drug reactions was recorded in 2 groups.
RESULTS
2
After 12 weeks of treatment, the total effective rate, the incidences of fever, blurred vision, leukopenia, anemia, renal function abnormalities, hypokalemia, liver function abnormalities, rash, and peripheral neuropathy were compared between the two groups, and the differences were not statistically significant (
P
>0.05). The negative coversion rate of cerebrospinal fluid in AmB+POS group was significantly higher than AmB+FC group; the incidences of headache, nausea and vomiting symptoms, and the incidence of any adverse events were significantly lower than AmB+FC group (
P
<0.05). The cerebrospinal fluid pressure and cerebrospinal fluid protein content of the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment, and the cerebrospinal fluid glucose content and cerebrospinal fluid chloride content were significantly higher than those before treatment (
P
<0.05); however, the differences were not statistically significant between 2 groups
(
P
>0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
2
Amphotericin B combined with posaconazole improves the negative coversion rate of cerebrospinal fluid and relieves clinical symptoms in patients with AIDS combined with CM with good safety.
