Excerpt

In this issue of IJCP, Chawla et al. [1] report on an association between CYP2C19 genotype and plasma voriconazole levels. Based on retrospective data on voriconazole dose, plasma concentration levels, and CYP2C19 genotypes in 55 patients, the authors conclude, “…voriconazole monitoring and genotype analysis may assist in clinical practice and better patient care”, and suggest impact on clinical practice: “CYP2C19 genotype and voriconazole monitoring at initiation……is required to achieve therapeutic targets”. …
