  • Ergotism associated with HIV antiviral protease inhibitor therapy
    Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2003
    Co-Authors: Zachary K. Baldwin, Chris C. Ceraldi
    Abstract:

    Abstract Ergotism is a rare condition of acute vasospasm found classically in young and middle-aged women taking ergot alkaloid agents to treat migraine headache. We report the case of a young man with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positivity and describe the drug interaction between protease inhibitors and ergot alkaloid agents, which most likely predisposed to development of ergot toxicity. The HIV-positive population receiving antiviral therapy may be an underrecognized group at risk for Ergotism through decreased hepatic metabolism of ergot preparations. (J Vasc Surg 2003;37:676-8.)

  • Ergotism in thailand caused by increased access to antiretroviral drugs a global warning
    Topics in antiviral medicine, 2014
    Co-Authors: Anchalee Avihingsanon, Reshmie Ramautarsing, Gompol Suwanpimolkul, Ploenchan Chetchotisakd, Chureeratana Bowonwatanuwong, Supunnee Jirajariyavej, Patcharee Kantipong, Hutsaya Tantipong, June Ohata, Chusana Suankratay
    Abstract:

    Ergotism is a toxic condition resulting from overexposure to the ergot compounds produced by various fungi of the genus Claviceps. Traditionally, such exposure was due to ingestion of infected grains, but long-term or excessive use of medications containing ergot derivatives or drug-drug interactions between these medications can result in Ergotism. Ergotamine, typically used to treat migraine, has less than 5% bioavailability due to extensive first-pass metabolism by cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). Concurrent intake of ergotamine and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as the HIV protease inhibitors (PIs), can lead to clinical Ergotism. A total of 13 cases of clinical Ergotism in HIV-infected patients has been published since 1997 (most recently reviewed by Frohlich et al).
