Echinocandin-induced eosinophilia: a case report

Nathalie G Chua et al. Scand J Infect Dis. 2014 Nov.

Abstract

Drug-induced eosinophilia is difficult to diagnose. Severe organ damage can occur if it is left untreated. Presently, caspofungin is the only echinocandin that has been reported to cause eosinophilia. A patient who developed eosinophilia after exposure to caspofungin and re-challenge with anidulafungin is presented. Eosinophilia resolved upon discontinuation of both drugs.

Keywords: Echinocandins; adverse effect; anidulafungin; caspofungin; eosinophilia.
