Role of fluconazole in a case of rapid onset ritonavir and inhaled fluticasone-associated secondary adrenal insufficiency.
A 52-year-old man with well-controlled HIV infection taking ritonavir and increasing doses of inhaled fluticasone for chronic bronchitis developed thrush. Within days of discontinuing fluticasone and initiating fluconazole, he presented with fatigue, malaise, lower-extremity oedema and orthostasis. Testing confirmed exogenous Cushing's syndrome and secondary adrenal insufficiency. Although ritonavir-fluticasone interactions have been previously reported as a cause for adrenal insufficiency, we propose that fluconazole increased the rapidity of onset and severity of symptoms through synergistic inhibition of the adrenal axis.
