A patient with chronic myeloid leukaemia developed a pustular eruption while taking imatinib 400 mg daily, increased to 800 mg daily 12 weeks after starting to take voriconazole for pulmonary aspergillosis. His imatinib plasma levels were approximately twice the predieted levels while taking both drugs. His eondition improved within 3 weeks of stopping both voriconazole and imatinib, and did not recur with voriconazole treatment alone. ... 

Ketoconazole is a potent inhibitor of the cytochrome P450 isoenzyme CYP3A4, which is involved in the metabolism of imatinib. Therefore ketoconazole reduces the metabolism and clearance of imatinib and its serum levels rise accordingly. Adverse skin reactions occur frequently with imatinib and may be associated with high does of imatinib and/or increased levels due to an interaction with CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as voriconazole. ...
