Key Words Voriconazole; Periostitis; Fluoride; Fluorosis; Alkaline phosphatase
Core Tip Voriconazole-induced periostitis is rare, and typically presents as bone pain following months of voriconazole treatment. Fluoride, present in voriconazole, deposits within the bony matrix causing bone pains and high serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) with or without elevated plasma fluoride level. Evidence of periostitis is typically observed on skeletal imaging. Symptom relief occurs shortly after discontinuation of voriconazole, and normalization of serum ALP occurs in the following weeks to months. We herein discuss the pathophysiology and diagnosis of voriconazole-induced periostitis, its prevalence in different patient populations, and clinical outcomes.
